You will probably never even realize how big a disservice you're doing to Bitcoin by posting all these stuipd remarks.


Nonsense. Bitcoin doesn't care, cause it has no sex.

You're right. Thank You so much for helping me realize how much my stupid remarks and political-incorrectness has tarnished bitcoin's reputation and set back its adoption for who knows how many years. It's a good thing your horse is much higher than mine, otherwise I may have never come to this realization. I only hope bitcoin can recover from this great disservice I've rendered upon it. Once again, thank you and my sincere apologies to bitcoin.

Being the sensitive male that I am, I feel it is my duty to make things right here. To this end, I hereby volunteer myself to attend as many all-women bitcoin meet-ups as possible in the future to be groped, felt up, used and objectified in any manner seen fit until all those present have been fully satisfied that justice has been done.



Sir, this is what we call Femdom. It has no relation to Feminism.

I think it is not worth the effort to attempt making a distinction between groping, feminism, femdom and other sexually transmitted perversions.


ya.ya.yo!

Who said I wanted to relate to feminism/feminists? Quite the opposite, Sir/Madame.

Why is this thread in press? This should be in politics and society. It has nothing to do with bitcoin aside from someone talking about the way they felt at a bitcoin meetup.

Who really has the privilege here? Who really is the gender catered to by government fiat? Which gender is truly treated as a special class? It certainly isn't men. All you see is men bashed everywhere, accused of being this or that. She's infringing my freedom of speech by writing on the internet! Also this kool-aid tastes funny.


The Kool-aid was laced with estrogen. <_<

Terrible people, terrible people everywhere.

The suprising part is where you're still surprised.

If you can't kill a movement via regulation then kill it via identity politics. Beat them over the head with minority complaints until they are too busy running training seminars and discussing privilege to do anything useful. It's only a matter of time before this lot starts suggesting that the core developers spend their time on listening to their various professional victims speak about "harassment" rather than working on stuff like the payment protocol.

No, actually, that's not what it's like to be a woman at a bitcoin meeting. That is what it is like to be her, a person looking to start an Internet career through the good ol' victim + guilt + white knight combo. Everyone will run to her rescue and the community will now prove that this is not the case...Honestly, it's probably a great move for her.

I definitely don't agree with the behavior at the meeting, but how about being a little more proactive? Say, starting your own meetup empowering career oriented women (or empowering both sexes equally) instead of running to the Internet and spreading statements that just aren't true. I attend the SF Bitcoin Social Meetup all the time and women are encouraged to present and speak (and they do). I haven't seen any such behavior there so I am very curious as to where this all happened and why she took the approach that she did.

^this. The author should meet me if she really wants to be demeaned. I'd love to explain to her what a low life she is.

She is a feminist and professional victim playing pop culture critic designing these scenarios so she has something to bitch about in an attempt to gain pity, sympathy, favors, freebies, special treatment and money. Hard to tell if it's a mental defect or if she's just a con woman.

Sorry mate, but sometimes the reason that people make a big deal about being a victim is that they're being victimised. I don't know this woman from Adam, but the kind of situation she describes is one that I've seen happen too many times as a guy working in a technical industry not to believe.

I don't think she's looking for pity at all - I think she's chiefly looking for the reader to understand why that kind of behaviour is completely inappropriate, and to encourage decent people to call it out when they see it.

The core tenet of feminism is merely that men and women should be treated equally. If you believe that, congratulations! You're a feminist. If not, well, you're kind of a dick.

Nothing to do with Bitcoin.

Bitcoin is about confirmation and agreement. This chick is about changing any space she goes into to suit her wants and desires = Female Supremacy.

No one victimized her. She sought out victimization in the form of easy people to manipulate and turned around their words and meanings to suit and support her Feminist Crusades.

If you don't think she is looking for pity - and the other things mentioned - you have not done your homework. Read her website, because that is all she does there.

We work with logic, reason and do it rationally. She and those like her live in the world of whimsy, emotion, political correctness and what they try to do is alter your speech, shut you up and give them what they want. They want to regulate and legislate opinion and speech. Who really has the privilege here? Who really is the gender catered to by government fiat? Which gender is truly treated as a special class? It certainly isn't men. All you see is men bashed everywhere, accused of being this or that. We do no such thing to any other group. Groupthink, group politics. Political correctness flying in the face of reality.

Oh the poor little womens. Give me a break. They use our chivalry effectively. And it's time to stop all such nonsense and call a spade a spade.

At the end of the day every human has every right to their words and opinions. This chick is trying to gain public sympathy and support to force a change with these  people, to shut them up and stifle their opinions if they cannot change them. She wants special and preferential treatment for women over men. Mark my words... you wont like the outcome.

I am about equality, not supremacy.

Ridicolous. Sex does not matter in bitcoin: we do not know the sex of satoshi and we use bitcoin, exactly because sex does not matter.
