so i was at a developer conference today and it already had this gender neutrality topic in it, which is fine (like supporting ruby girls). then this presentation started. just dumping some photos
>>46898582
lol
>>46898588
Is she criticising herself? Jesus christ.
>>46898608
She's checking her privilege. She forgot to put 'female' in there, though.
>>46898582
>>46898588
>>46898604
And women expect to be treated with respect like this instead of just excelling in their field and doing something actually relevant..
>>46898608
yes she did
wow, glad i don't waste my life paying attention to this bullshit.
>>46898582
this shit triggers me
Must be a shit conference if that shit was part of it. I'm amazed the audience didn't proceed to play games on their phones the entire time.
Did you pay money to listen to this?

OH THE IRONY.
>>46898619
The ironic thing is that this whole movement does have some points here. Freedom cannot be had with restrictions like real-name policies, we expect our software to have sane defaults (implying "men as default is sane"), and we need to not ignore our users to have a good software experience. Chalk it up to the GNU way of doing things.
>>46898666
nice trips. op here. we left the presentation after she explained how it is sexist to develop digital cameras that are too heavy and big to carry for small women.
>>46898709

>>46898709

>>46898700
>IRONY
Irony (from Ancient Greek εἰρωνεία (eirōneía), meaning "dissimulation, feigned ignorance"), in its broadest sense, is a rhetorical device, literary technique, or event in which what appears, on the surface, to be the case, differs radically from what is actually the case.
I dont think it is irony
>>46898709
Wow, get fucked. All credibility gone.
>>46898736
me and my mates, we were the only people that left, as far as i know, it was the closing note of the whole conference anyway
>>46898757
It is. Just keep track of the NOT operators.
>>46898787
> it was the closing note of the whole conference anyway
You shouldn't trivialise this. It's socially corrosive and effectively so. If you paid money you should ask for at least partial reimbursement.

>>46898821
the conference had some great talks, also my company paid for it. but the i just couldnt handle the last presentation
>>46898909
Which one was the best? Was it the one about why the f*ck you should care about getting more women into tech, or the one about how it takes a village to make a programmer? Perhaps the talk about "storytelling" whatever that is?
>>46898709
The problem is there are some valid points (brogrammers, "no women on the internet", "above and beyond" culture that excludes people with lives outside of work, drinking culture etc.) but then people like her shit things up by complaining about the size of a fucking camera.
>>46898705

Get out of here.

There was a nice talk about performance and also about frontend tools and web security. also douglas crockford was the key speaker, so that was exciting
>>46898940
>by complaining about the size of a fucking camera
It's a valid concern. If all toilets were urinals do you honestly not think that would be sexist?
>>46898994
Because it all excludes people, and excluding people is bad because it creates a monoculture, and monocultures are always bad because it creates an inward looking community that just circle-jerk each other.
Any self respecting software developer with any experience can understand why monocultures are bad. You're not one of those ones that don't understand, are you anon?
>>46898999
You sound like an A-class C.H.U.M.P
But hey, just my opinion.

Apples, oranges, etc.
>>46899016
lol taking a dump in the urinal.
>>46899016
>It's a valid concern
Only if there weren't technical criteria that dictated the design. Technical criteria always over-ride any other criteria, otherwise the thing you're building won't function in the way you want it to.
If you could build a DLSR that weighed half a pound, was two inches square and accepted industry standard lens you don't think the manufacturers would do it?
>>46899016
>It's a valid concern
Not in a market economy where you can buy cameras small enough to fit in a pen, it isn't. And even if absolutely every camera were massive and designed to be ideal for men, that would mean not enough women purchase cameras to make designing cameras for them profitable, so it's their own fault.

op here, let me explain further. she said a women in syria wanted to shoot photos of a riot, in order to document the breaking of law. but she couldn't because the weight of the specific camera prevented her from executing her rights. i thought that was pretty ridicilous, i mean there are smaller cameras out there
>>46898664

Jesus, I'm developing a stomach ulcer just looking at this shit.

>>46899056
Supply and demand. It's not worth time and money developing it. Which is how most corporations work, unfortunately, and it's discriminatory in general. Corporations follow psychopathic behavior.
>>46899069
Nobody is arguing for equality, they are arguing for equity. To pretend there are no differences between men and women would be downright harmful.
>>46899094
Between the revolution, counter-revolution and infiltration of the revolution by ISIS, the last concern women in Syria have is the size of their fucking cameras.
Western women are like toddlers both in their capacity for critical thinking and the scope of their concerns.
>>46899094
>there are smaller cameras out there
In Syria?
>>46899129
> It's not worth time and money developing it
Except it is because smaller cameras exist. What planet are you from?
>>46899146
Syria has a magical force field around it that paradoxically allows penetration by iphones, but not by small cameras.
>>46898900
Well said. Underrated post.
why do we need woman in tech? It doesn't make sense. Woman can be in tech and there is nothing wrong if they want to pursue a career in some form of it. However, those that think they must be in something--there is something seriously wrong with people's minds nowadays.
They want to perverse a culture simply because it's made up of men and, because there are no women in it, it is inherently unequal.

It's more complex. It's made up of gullible, vulnerable nerdly betacucks who are too thirsty for puss to act with dignity.
Fields such as mechanical engineering and theoretical physics as no less male-dominated, but the people working in those fields generally don't give infantile feminists the time of day.
>>46899016
are you comparing toilets to cameras?
I've met alot of good women coders because I live in Silicon Valley
Want to know the key thing about what makes them actually good?
They're just as autistic and nerdy fucks as alot of the guys.
You can't take some normal pleb woman and have her code because she just isn't geared for it, thinking more in emotions and how she's been trained to react to the world rather than a true STEM major who has the diligence and dedication that these nerd/autist chicks do.

All the good female coders I know are Asian but most families don't find coding a respectable job so they become doctors if they're smart enough.

Real-name policies are sometimes required though: even GNU requires contributor copyright assignments, and as a legal document you can only sign & submit those using your legal name.

Everyone thinks in emotions. Humans are irrational, there's no way around it.
Did no one in the audience treat this with the derisive laughter it deserves? Did no one think to interrupt and ask whether this is appropriate for a development conference?
>>46899319
Under the Berne convention you have the right to publish works pseudonymously and anonymously. If GNU are enforcing a real-name policy for copyright grants, they are harmful. But we know GNU is harmful anyway because it's shit quality software.

>>46899367
Your ability to publish work anonymously is nothing to do with assigning your copyright to the FSF for inclusion in GNU software. The two are entirely orthogonal; GNU require all of the copyright for their software to be held in their name, which means all authors who wish to submit patches to GNU software must assign their copyright to the FSF.
You're still free to publish your software as Bob The Builder, or Furry Squiral Nutkins, but the FSF are equally free not to use it because legally they *can't*. Because ironically, Berne Convention.
Hoist by your own /pol/tard.

The FSF absolutely can take Work A and use it on the condition they keep the Copyright (c) 2015 Bob The Builder notice intact somewhere. It's they who would choose not to.

>>46899703
>and use it on the condition they keep the Copyright
Which is exactly the thing they don't do. FSF require single copyright assignment. Whether you agree with that position or not is nothing to do with the legal requirement that the assignment must happen in your legal name because it's a legal document.
Take a look at her github activity. The only thing she "programs" is editing readme files of projects and adds a few html tags to static html pages, lmao

No they don't anymore. They used to but the latest policy means it's not required to transfer copyright. All the GNU project needs is the authority to relicense your work under any GPL. This is because if they ever publish a new GPL, then they are able to relicense your work under the new GPL. To do it this way, you would need to write a special relicensing letter to the GNU project. Note that you'd still have your own copyright to your code, it's just that you've given GNU the right to relicense that code which you've contributed to them.
>>46899792
>An on-topic in-context reply to someone else's post is a blog now.
>>46899813
>To do it this way, you would need to write a special relicensing letter to the GNU project.
Right, which is effectively the same thing as you still need to sign that letter in your legal name.
>>46899709
You leftists let this pestilence into your movement. Enjoy it.
>>46899783
That's the problem. You do a dongle joke here or a fork joke there and suddenly people who have nothing to do with programming come out of the woodwork. They contribute nothing; they just don't know how nor care about it because they are narcissistic or sociopaths looking to control the typically introverted coder.
>>46898582
I'd leave right here.
Wow... didn't realize /g/ was a right-wing Teathuglican reactionary shit-hole. A woman expresses mostly valid concerns and all of a sudden she's the devil, I'd laugh if it wasn't so typical.
>>46899841
It's not effectively the same thing. Copyright assignment means the GNU project are legally allowed to distribute your contribution under any license, proprietary or free. This relicensing agreement only grants them the right to change the license to a new GPL should a new GPL exist.

It's no different to any license. If you publish your software under the MIT license, you will sign that license under your legal name. This "GNU can relicense my work" is also a license but you've only given the GNU project the license to practise this. This "GNU can relicense my work" license doesn't transfer to anybody else.

>>46900090
No because it doesn't work that way. The FSF still require an actual document, with an actual signature on it.
Licensing something under MIT just requires you claim copyright on the work and then the Berne laws kick in.
>>46898705
>Chalk it up to the GNU way of doing things.
GNU way of doing things is when a user changes the software to suit him/herself. So you say, user genuinely wants to harm him/herself. It depends on a user whether he wants to have a good experience or not. It`s his wish, not the developer.
>>46900000
second
"developer" conference.
Good job. You attended a thinly veiled feminist rally.
>>46900117
FSF requires a physical document with a physical signature according to their policy of how they do business, not because it's required by law. All that's required is a license stating what can happen. The FSF demand a physical signature because they want to make certain that there is no room for ambiguity. An electronic license is good enough for 99% of situations but the FSF want to cover 100% of the situations with this policy.

I've met (semi) normal female programmers that aren't completely autistic and nerdy. Oil & gas industry.

That's all lovely, but see >>46899456
Whether you agree with their policy of single assignment or re-licensing is nothing to do with it: they do, and therefore LEGALLY, the documents must be signed in your legal name.
In situations where assignment or re-licensing isn't required you're free to use a pseudonym all you like, but that simply isn't the case with the FSF and therefore they have a de-facto real name policy.

It is kinda sad, Most were already pretty useless. Now they are painfully so.
You know what? Gender equality is just a topic everywhere and I'm fine with it. We need more women in tech and sci fields, you are acting just like those shitty scared prep guys who said women would never enter in University. Grow a pair /g/ this is actually a good thing if we want to advance as civilization
>>46900640
> Gender equality is just a topic everywhere and I'm fine with it.
This is true
I also don't mind more females in tech, if they're at least somewhat good programmers.
However, I don't believe anyone with above 50 IQ can use the word "privilege" unironically.
>>46900640
>need
no we don't
>>46900640
why do we need more women in tech and sci fields? shouldn't women be able to do what they want?
>>46898900
I'm guessing "Being X Company's affirmative-action hire" is in there somewhere.
I'm pretty sure the reason women like these talk about this kind of nonsense is only to hide the fact that she can't code for shit (if at all) and to mask their total ineptitude and practical irrelevance. It doesn't take any skill or knowledge to complain.
>>46900640
No, we need competent people, regardless of sex, religion, or color.
>>46899367
No, they just exercised their privilege not to listen, not to care and to move on with their lives.
>>46900640
Need? Why should women do what you want them to?
There seems to be a marginal majority of competent women in organic chemistry. That's wonderful. I don't think there are enough technologically-interested and competent women to get the technological field anywhere near that gender distribution yet. Shovelling women into a field they're largely disinterested in will only harm them. The field needs intrepid people, not laypersons only there because it's the "happening" place to be at the moment (like game development right now).
Focus on teaching all subjects equally to both genders of children.
And why do we "need" more women in technology, yet not "need" more women in coal mining, waste management, plumbing, and boiler construction?
>>46900733
Why is game development a "happening" job? The hours suck, the pay is horrible and there's a good chance you'll be laid off after your current project, basically turning you into a freelancer.
>>46900640
This. CS/engineering lines in universities should enforce a strict 50:50 gender divide even if it would mean letting girls get in "easier" to lessen the rampant sexism in tech related fields.
>>46900755
WHY 50/50?
IT should consider the best for doing it, male or female.

>>46898588
Can someone explain this "cisgender" "cissexual" thing to me?
Yes, I've skimmed wikipedia. It doesn't make sense, as though it has a garbage set of philosophies and idea (I don't agree with) fundamentally embedded into it. So it resolves to gibberish haze in my mind.
I've said this in 10 threads or so. Never gotten a response.
>>46900859
you're making it too obvious now
>>46900881
Cisgender - "identifying" with the penis or vagina you were born with.
Cissexual - Liking the standard counterpart to the penis or vagina you were born with.
IE, being normal.
>>46900881
As I understand it it mostly just means you're not a tranny... ie you identify as the same sex as you biologically are...
>>46900755
you're not thinking inclusive enough.
EVERY line in universities should enforce a strict 50:50 gender divide.
You can't let another guy in until you have 50% females. If a female drops out, you must make a guy drop out. This should be strictly enforced.
The same thing should be done for jobs, although for a transition period I would allow a little less strict rules, let's say 60:40.
Want another coder? If you already have 60 guys, it has to be a woman. You can't hire anyone until you find one. Need more miners? Well my friend you're shit out of luck, better create some more office jobs in your company to hire women.
Need another kindergarden teacher? Oh shit you already have most women, gotta hire that fat sweaty guy with weird mustache that's been applying for the last 5 years.
This will make the job market at least somewhat equal and everyone will be happy.
After it's completed, we'll start enforcing at least 20% of employees to be transsexual.
>>46900664
I've worked in par with women as Sysadmin and they have ways to resolve problems different than men thanks to her I've learned a lot.
Tech and sci fields would get a lot of needed feedback this century from women. Also I get mad every time she comments me how much she get paid for the same task I do (almost half because lol she is a woman). I find this situation unfair.
>>46900906
I FIND THE TERM NORMAL TO BE INCREDIBLY OFFENSIVE BECAUSE US TRANS-PANDA ALT-CYSSEXUAL WOMYN DESERVE RESPECT
>>46900859
The problem is it's disjointedly trying to coerce women into tech (at the expense of others) rather than addressing or even remotely acknowledging why they aren't interested and perusing these fields on their own.
Its base nature needs to be considered with hones. This is the first step to building a self iterating framework of knowledge that can be used to weigh information and derive an accurate and realistic perspective. I do not believe that has happened yet, whether collectively or for the prominent individuals involved.
>>46900859
>I know you're saying that sarcastically, but I don't know why the added diversity wouldn't be worth it.
Worth what? Hiring people who don't know shit only because of their sexual organs?

If someone is gay you can't force them to be straight, if they're straight, you can't force them to be gay. You can't force people to be something they're not. but some people try anyway.

We need more women in those jobs too (I would add military high ranks) but as HR companies only want men
>>46900881
CIS sexual means not homosexual.
CIS gender means not transgender.
Don't call yourself straight, that's offensive.
If women don't want the job, don't bitch about the gender gap. Men don't bitch about the gender gap in coal mines.

>EVERY line in universities should enforce a strict 50:50 gender divide.
No.
Education, social sciences, etc should stay as is. There is no sexism in those areas.
>>46900988
Most non-cys people don't mind straight/gay. It's the word 'normal' they have a problem with.
>>46900906
I still don't follow.
We don't know what, if anything, we intrinsically are. Gender might very well be constructs, whether socially or individually derived. They might not have such a hard physiological basis they stem from.
I don't get it. It's still a meaningless haze that seems to just float in a void, on its own. Maybe that's the point.
>>46900922
Don't see what it's referencing, still.
All things are often reducible to grand interwoven framework, interlocking chains of elements. This says almost nothing, and seems to connect to nothing.
They say the word over and over and over, but I still can't derive any true meaning. Very bothersome. Reminds me of cults.

There are functional MRI studies showing that male students can't pay attention to female voices effectively as their brains interpret it as music.
We should ban women from teaching mixed classes.

Why not the lower ranks too?
Anyway, I want to know what's fuelling the notion that companies are rejecting job applications from competent women.

Males can just decide not to go to classes that are taught by women.
>>46900993
no.
We must force men into gender studies. Otherwise they won't educate themselves.
If they won't come of their own will, they should be selected from population at random and forced to attend at gunpoint.

You're preaching to the choir here, guys. I think most of them are batshit insane. Genuine gender disorders are hard enough to deal with without bullshit from 'womyn' who just want the attention.

This fucking post. Do you always speak like an autist?
>>46900988
Then what's all this "Cisgender and cissexual (often abbreviated to simply cis) describe related types of gender identity where individuals' experiences of their own gender match the sex they were assigned at birth." about?
What is gender?
What is sex?
Where do these things come from?
They don't state anything meaningful or direct and just rely on hazy undefined references that leave the listener to interpolate and fill in the blanks.
>>46900962
I don't think you understand what the basic premise is and your republicanism is showing badly.
The suggestion is not to "force," women into the field, it's to "encourage," women to enter while preventing men from over-representing and crowding women out.
And you are correct, at some point we'll have the same battle for representation and diversity of sexuality as with gender. Unfortunately society is still too closed minded to afford gays the same privileges as women, but we are getting there and I think continued support for the right policies will make it happen sooner rather than later.
We need kids (boys and girls) programming at young age. This is a educational problem too but if we can't change our mindset everything will be worthless

>Did this speaker even *try* to find a smaller camera?
She's probably complaining about your above scenario of a normal DSLR with telephoto lenses.
Doesn't matter. It's physics. You want certain qualities in a camera and lens, you're sure as fuck aren't going to get it in an iPhone sized device.
>>46901098
Wow, are you seriously gendering children at a "young age," you fucking monster? Let them make that decision when they reach puberty at least.
>>46901027
You're either retarded or trolling. The problem with these terms isn't that they're hard to understand.

I'm living in Sweden, and their mindset is already starting to have an impact on the politics here. As a white cis-male it's impossible for me to join the discussion IRL unfortunately.

Might as well encourage women to become coal miners as well.
>>46901038
Mainly job descriptions, adding "intense physical strength capacity is needed", for example
>>46901139
That's because your presence in the discussion is oppressive. You dominate the current structural paradigm and therefor you need to be excluded from areas where you have marginalized others.
>>46900881
It's a label they created for normal people.
They create labels and words so they can set definitions and change them at will and create associations with said labels and words.
It's insidious.

Fucking this.
It's not a subjective matter.
Males tend to be better at certain types of thinking than females.
The opposite is true as well.
What's the big deal about it? It's simple biology.
>>46900881
Cis- is a latin prefix, with a meaning opposite to trans-. To tumblrists, cisgender is having a physical sex and a mental notion of gender that match eachother eachother. A cissexual is presumably a person who has not undergone reassignment surgery -- being the same sex you were born as.
>>46901163
Normal is an insidious term too.
>They create labels and words so they can set definitions and change them at will and create associations with said labels and words.
As above.

That's not to say that a great deal of women can be intrepid engineers and programmers if they hadn't found their place in life as pieces of gossiping marriage-obsessed fuckmeat, though.

I don't understand how people accept all physical differences between men and women, but can't accept that there are any differences in the brain.
These people usually believe in evolution (right?). They can accept that we went from being monkeys to this, but that the brains of men and women never ever became any different.
>>46901313
>normal is insidious
Not it is very straightforward and hasn't changed in who knows how long.
- Conforming to a standard; usual, typical, or expected.
That definition alone implies specificity based on variations in locale for example.
There's nothing nefarious that can even be done with it aside from the usual demonizing so it can be used to publicly shame and silence opposing opinions.

You need to go deeper.

Nobody encouraged men to get into computing. Just the opposite, we were insulted as nerds and discouraged at every opportunity. Our love for computers was strong enough that the discouragement failed. It's highly offensive to suggest men had encouragement that women did not.
>>46899182
because its predicted that there wont be enough men to fill the jobs in technology. Only fostering women in tech can the need of the industry for workers be filled. Same reason you cant /only/ hire whites, etc
