Weird, you assume I'm a man.
I am, but then again on the Internet I could be anyone I want to be. I could tell you I manage a software dev team that is majority female. What's the point? I could also tell you I'm Ada fucking Lovelace risen from the crypt.
Skill with a computer has nothing to do with sex or gender. It's almost entirely down to experience and exposure at an age when you're willing to break things and learn from it - or capturing that attitude at whatever age.
God I can already tell this is going to be bad faith bullshit so i'm not even going to bother reading past this.
When. When did I say that.
Do you often accuse women of being dickheads who are part of misogyny? Or are you just using a pathetic excuse to pretend you didnt read the next paragraph? Grow up. It's the Internet. Nobody is going to remember that you were silly.
Just gonna say - they seem insufferable, so they probably do. But also, women can certainly be part of misogyny. That doesn't mean you aren't right, though, about them assuming by default you're a man.
2016 never died, apparently.
You are such an absolute hypocrite. If you're really a feminist, you're doing a piss-poor job at it.
Don't accuse someone of bad faith when you're here pretending there are no implications behind the term dickhead.

Don't play dumb. You're challenging patriarchy (or at least putting on the airs of someone who does), so by defualt you're a feminist.
Basic standards of decency = feminist apparently
Wtf is wrong with your brain, mate?
Do you really think literally everyone on Earth challenges patriarchy? No. Hardly anyone admits it exists. That's kinda the point of feminism, galaxy brain. Being aware of it and challenging it is pretty much all it takes to be a feminist.
That's a depressing prospective. I'm glad I don't see things that way.
...The fact Andrew Tate exists and is popular is kind of a clue, isn't it? Barbie tried to address the concept of patriarchy - and to be fair, has been quite successful financially, and a damn good film - but the general public is barely any closer to accepting that women don't yet have fully equal rights.
