Hear, hear!
I’m glad to learn that there are others like me who are sick of being served stuff on wooden planks, and worse, as detailed here:

Damn right we want plates!
We are civilized; we ought to act civilized.
Yep. Great cartoon.
In today’s environment, best to avoid non-work-related, social interaction with anyone other than straight men of your own kind, as much as possible, just to be safe.
Radical feminists complain a lot about sexism, but damage is self-inflicted
Lately, we’ve seen an outburst of radical feminism as more women have been equating actual rape and sexual assault with sexist comments or clumsy passes. How does this change how women are perceived in the workplace?
Here’s an article from Medium (H/T Tracy) by an anonymous male feminist.
The first point is about how women handle disagreement, compared to men:
When James Damore was asked for feedback from his supervisor and internally circulated his google memo, it got leaked, he got fired and women stayed at home the next Day because “for emotional reasons”
A ten page summary of data and analysis from Damore was enough to “emotional distress” the women at the company.
This lack of resilience and self-control disrupts the workplace, and results in lost productivity. If it turns into a lawsuit, the costs are even higher. This is…

It’s not enough they have their own parades; they have to colonize Christian ones like St. Patrick’s, too, and now this:
Conservative politicians in Madrid have condemned the decision to cast two women and a celebrated drag queen as an alternative “Three Wise Men” in a local Epiphany parade.
The trio will star on one of 16 floats at the event in the Puente de Vallecas district on 5 January.
Drag queen La Prohibida will be joined by cabaret dancer Roma Calderón and hip hop singer Dnoé Lamiss.
The three will be dressed as stuffed animals in pyjamas.
The annual Three Kings parades, held the night before Epiphany on 5 January, are a much-loved feature of Spanish Christmas celebrations, popular with children.
Traditionally, three local men dress up as the Magi from the Christmas story and process through their town or village, handing out sweets.
This year’s alternative version was proposed by the Orgullo Vallekano association, a Gay Pride collective in Madrid’s Vallecas neighbourhood.
“We planned to do a parallel parade but when we proposed it in the municipal council, they told us to join the main one,” a representative told El Mundo (in Spanish).
“It’s yet another example of the diversity of Madrid,” said supporter Carla Antonelli, a gay rights activist and Socialist Party politician.
However, critics have argued that Madrid City Council should respect the parades’ traditional form.
“We support Gay Pride and the rest of the celebrations, but we believe the Kings’ Day should be respected as a religious holiday,” said Jose Luis Martinez-Almeida, the Popular Party’s spokesman for Madrid council.
“Sometimes, a Cavalcade of Kings must simply be what the children expect it to be – a Cavalcade of Kings,” tweeted Begoña Villacís, a Madrid councillor for the centre-right Ciudadanos party.
Singer La Prohibida – also known as Amapola López – says that is not a problem, and that she hopes to enrich the traditional festivities.
“The parade is for children and it will be a party for the children. There will be no glitter, no crowns, no different dresses… It is a festive thing, but it is neither the Carnival of the Canary Islands nor Gay Pride,” the drag queen told El Mundo.
In her view, all traditions evolve – and it is the ones that adapt for modern times that endure.
People could equally ask why “SpongeBob Squarepants or the Star Wars characters” take part in a religious parade, she noted.
That’s a fair point; really, pop culture B.S. of any kind should be rejected…
The rich are different.
They always have been.
We know that.
I suppose it’s perhaps amusing (and/or galling) to consider that those who are so ‘progressive’ at work are different in their personal lives, but again, always been the case with the rich.
(But then the same is true with harder leftists, for that matter; the trope of the girlfriend-beating antiwar hippie, as noticed in pop culture by e.g. ‘Forrest Gump’, exists for a reason.)
It also doesn’t surprise that those who were overlooked by girls / women in high school / college/uni, who are now so rich they can have as many as they want, do so.
Ms. Chang sympathizes with the women-folk in tech, of course, and blames men, patriarchy, etc.
I have no sympathy for them. If they go to these parties, they either know what they’re getting into, or at the very least, they find out soon, and they have a chance to bolt; surely, keeping one’s personal integrity is more important than keeping one’s career.
If not, tough luck; suck it up, buttercup.
You made your choice, now live with it.
I suppose less women will want to go into tech now, after reading this.
Can’t say I blame them.
Can’t say I really care, though.
Not my problem.
The rich are different.
They always have been.
What the soi-disant social conservatives refuse to understand is that multiculturalism is a universal solvent. Social norms cannot be maintained where there is no social unity @jkenney

First we must take back the countries we have made & only then can the social order be reconstituted. To attempt the second without the first is like rearranging deck chairs in a hurricane #Multiculturalism https://t.co/IuxtpbWmkE
