I feel you. Once again I'm finding HN's culture very reminiscent of the "techbro" epidemic that we are only pretending to be against.

Can people here just not imagine what it would be like to be gay and also be working for someone making political donations to anti-gay groups? Would you not think that would feel fucking awful???

> I really think the most important part of maintaining the success of a social network is being "cool", or rather, being the social network that cool people use.

Facebook hasn't been "cool" in almost 10 years. Their IPO was in 2012, and like pretty much any other teenager would've at the time, I thought it was about to die off because our moms were starting to use it.

But this was true when Steam decided to start accepting bitcoin. There has to be some kind of profit motive behind making this decision at this point in time. I could only guess that they've forecasted a significant decline in bitcoin's value, whether it be the value of the coin itself or the costs of doing business with it.

There are people who would slap you in the face for talking about their work like that. You're completely ignoring the immense R&D costs that go into creating innovative, original products.

Replace "low status" with "insecure" as many high-status men have proven otherwise

The poor guy is simply unaware he is a misogynist.

Sexism isn't real. Men actually have it twice as hard as women, because companies hire women just to make them look good. Here's a link to one source that proves this forever.

Norway hired men more often than women with genderless applications. Science cannot explain this, just like the tides of the ocean, or magnets.

At the end of the day, people fighting for equal representation are just jealous, and they can't accept that their Y chromosome made them not want to work on an oil rig.

white people are a protected minority group in the eyes of facebook/twitter

Smart idea. I get a similar effect when I logout of sites like Twitter and have to face a login page when I revisit. It breaks me from my unconscious loop and lets me decide that this is not actually how I want to spend my time. Do you think changing the pocket is enough, or rather its that you're switching your dominant/non-dominant hands?

Facebook owns Instagram so they win either way

It's simpler (cheaper)

It should be enough to raise a flag for someone at Apple to thoroughly review the app before approving it for release. Not to mention that software worth $5,000/yr isn't often, if ever, paid for through an app store.

I believe there's some in coffee mate (a non-dairy creamer)

If you have a workplace where women and minorities cannot discuss their issues without a white man butting in to whine "but what about meee?" then yes, that is a toxic work environment.
