You know damn good and well that if this was a hot dude that could do these things, the comments towards them wouldn’t be nearly as hostile.
This is a complete strawman, and pretty much completely wrong. If you look at the heroes of the IT community, Linus Torvalds, Steve Wozniak, Gabe Newell, or the lesser known Terry A. Davis. These are not conventionally attractive people living a glamourous lifestyle.
This does not mean this post is not sexist, but the strawman of "if this was a male they would idolise him" is just complete horseshit, and in no way better than assuming a "pretty little woman" couldn't do programming.
You're moving the goal posts. I said if this was a hot dude the comments wouldn't be nearly as hostile. Both of us know this, but you're busy insisting these incels are only making these comments because the media or some bullshit. You know they're doing it because they're jealous and you're no better for trying to justify their bullshit.
But didn't you move the goal posts first?
No. I made a pretty clear statement that if this was a hot dude, the commenters wouldn’t be as hostile. That’s setting the goal posts. Saying I said they’d be praising the man is moving them.
And you made that statement on a post that was about a different statement.
