If you’re a feminist with an online presence, you know how hard it is to have a public conversation with your friends without some rando sea-lioning in to the middle of your discussion with his very important man-sights
I have good news for you: you (yes, you!) can start your own personal feminist backchannel! A backchannel is a alternate conversation happening outside of the “mainstream” discussion, often commenting on or related to the main discussion. Backchannels are incredibly useful to marginalized groups

Hey, you like making misandry jokes? So do a whole bunch of other women like you, and you can do it without worrying about a poorly timed “Not all men!” ruining your hilarious riff.
Feminist genius rediscovers the secret art of private communication.
“It seems so simple now! If I don't want the patriarchy to reply to my uninformed opinions, I just have to not post them on my Twitter with 20000 followers!”

make a blog that reposts these with gender switched around
>>6 It still looks pathetic, even if you want `backchannels where you and your buds can exchange rape jokes without some self-important feminist interrupting you'. These `backchannels' are only needed for people who lack any visible merit and thus have to resort to politics. The author seems like one of these people who were targeted at Jono Bacon's recent troll, `how to get rid of opionated people who do not contribute anything other than whining'.

>>4 Why is there an article for "backchannels"? This is literally a goddamned separate chat. Why did Wikipedia accept this load of bullshit as an article? What can you really say about a second chat? Do we also need an article for third chats, fourth chats and fifth chats? Why does that feminigger think her article is worth anything? It literally compresses into "share secrets by not telling them to anyone you don't want to inform".
G-d, I hate bullshitters so much. They come up with retarded shit like "systems thinking", "entrepreneurship theory" and "gender studies". Like there's anything to say about those things.
>>1,4 That comic about sea lions would make more sense if the woman first explained why she dislikes sea lions instead of insulting sea lions, expecting the sea lion not to care and then start yelling until the sea lion goes away. Instead, the comic seems to be mocking on feminists who blame everything on the patriarchy and then tell everyone to fuck off even before they give their first argument.
Anyway, this biologically-themed thread belongs on /lounge/.

In another post she claims credit to solution of the pesky atime overhead problem. For that, we must thank her. But she seems determined that it is feminism that gave you the solution to the problem, not good engineering taste and understanding of needs of users (and users more often than not include other programmers). This seems quite far-fetched. As a Muslim I too can claim that this ``human-centric'' approach to software development (which is actually thinking about a problem without jumping to coding right away) is instead Islamic, as Allah (only) commands His subjects to love and respect each other: 30:21 And among His Signs is this, that He created for you mates from among yourselves, that ye may dwell in tranquillity with them, and He has put love and mercy between your [hearts]: Verily in that are Signs for those who reflect. 42:23 That is (the Bounty) whereof Allah gives Glad Tidings to His Servants who believe and do righteous deeds. Say: "No reward do I ask of you for this except the love of those near of kin. " And if any one earns any good, We shall give him an increase of good in respect thereof: For Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Ready to appreciate (service). etc etc many parts of Quran, as Muhammad himself (p.b.u.h.) teached.
