>>10implies the reader is always male, which then implies that women don't have a place in the technology sector.
Actually that last part [i]is[/i] correct, women indeed have no place in the technology sector. Neither do men, for that matter. Gender, and thus masculinity and femininity, has no place in the sciences; neanderthal-era social protocols and mores are unscientific and ultimately destructive.
>>13Go back to Tumblr already, ey-kun.
I am the one responsible for most `ey' utterances on these boards, and I consider
>>10 to be a preachy little smeghead. Now, to clarify, I don't use gender-neutral language out of respect for women or femininity, or out of some beautiful tale of inclusion and sensitivity; on the contrary, if the concepts of gender, women, femininity, men, and masculinity were somehow physicalized, I would spit, stomp, and defecate upon them.
But I digress.
