Don't forget "peaceful protests".


That's not true though, the various gender gaps have been discussed here endlessly. I'm baffled when anyone says there's not enough discussion of these things when they dominated HN for months at a time.


What there isn’t a lot of discussion of is how the space functions in a holistic sense for women, but so it goes for other groups as well. I don’t think “more discussion” is what this situation is lacking, though I couldn’t tell you what it is.


It's clickbait.


I don't agree with what some of what the article says, but it certainly doesn't seem like clickbait. It appears to be an honest expression of someone's opinion and attempt to help others navigate shortcomings they see with HN.


What you call clickbait is something I think about _every_ time I visit this site - years and years. Your experience online is as gendered as mine is - it's just that your perspective is normal and mine is abstracted to 'clickbait'.


I can imagine some day in the future where people start tearing down statues because they were meat eaters.


You think they're going to stop after the Confederate statues?


We may even start replacing streets named after European explorers with people who killed them like Lapu-Lapu https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lapu-Lapu


We must establish the new customs, new culture, new habits, new ideas of the proletariat.


It reminds me of vegan documentaries, who think compilations of animal abuse are an argument.

Unlikely, were they on their way to church also?


Who knows, but the protests were noore violent than when white militiamen stormed the statehouse two weeks ago.. and yet the cops shot tear gas plastic bullets into the crowd anyway.


Did they loot the place while they were there?


Did they suffer from endless degrading at the hands of the police for generations?

Cry more about target losing televisions, if the death of yet another unarmed black man makes you feel nothing at least the looting does.


Police abuse of power and brutality happens every day and mainstream America doesn't bat an eye. But you burn down one Target... and all of a sudden everyone loses their minds!


People used to block café counters and demand to give money for service.

Your racism is the soft bigotry of low expectations.


Did blocking cafe counters work? Look outside: did it work??

My racism. Hahah. I love this tactic - no YOU'RE the racist cause uhh, oh, I know, low expectations!

What low expectations? I AGREE that it's great that people are burning down police stations and looting massive capitalist businesses. You're the one coming here with a twisted ethical system that somehow places property over people. And you call me racist, lol.
