Now I want to read Flaspoint, and I'm realizing that it's been so long since I've ahemed anything that I've totally forgotten how. I mean really. I didn't even know that the Azureus client became Vuze.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I'm still not thrilled about the Babs-as-Batgirl reboot, but ye gods, I love me some Gail Simone: "How do you think the biases are working out for white straight guys in general so far?".

Wow. If Dude is as threatened as he seems to be by the encroachment of a staggering 2% of pros being women in his chosen field, perhaps he should look into a career where he'll face less competition for jobs by women.
Mind you, professional sperm donation is the only likely candidate I can think of at the moment.

It's funny (in the sense that it's not) that he's so blind to the essential problem. Oh well, that's why they call it "privilege." Anyway, I always think, "You know, this is why the legal standard for these things is often to just to look at the numbers and the pattern they reveal."
You cannot say the system is equitable and it's just a problem of not enough women working their way through the process when the results are 98%.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

C'mon Hec, if women just aren't as good as men at stuff, it's not the men's fault! Why so reverse sexist????
(This exact conversation is happening right now in the skeptical community. The "Well maybe the most qualified people just happen to be white guys! Why do you care so much about skin color/gender anyway?" argument gets old after the first three or four hundred times.)
