No. First of all you're being pretty rude. Secondly, I don't want ANY pecking order in Tor. They should just focus on making privacy tools and leave the unrelated political messaging aside.

I wouldn't say "clearly". They make reference to doing something about harassment but give no outline what that might be. The post is tagged feminism. Believe it or not, not everyone supports this type of feminism. I'm not comfortable with Tor being so overtly political.

What exactly does this mean? Are there new centralized control mechanisms in the works for Tor? This seems like a really bad idea TBH. I don't want my privacy tools to come with some strangely ambiguous "political" feeling sentiment. Focus is the key to success and this doesn't seem like it.

His female colleagues had no issue with the shirt. It was the guy who wrote The Verge article and the following pile on that had issue with it.

In fact some of his female colleagues came to his defense on Twitter.

This wasn't an attack on "men" it was an attack on a specific man and yes, it was totally outrageous.

Women don't need thicker skin. No man or woman should be criticized for how they dress.

Diverse, as long as you dress EXACTLY how you're "supposed" to.

A friend made him this shirt. He was wearing it as a tribute since the day was important to him. He got nailed to the wall.

Remember when scientists and engineers could dress how they wanted and be independent thinkers? It's sad to see that coming to an end. This is not a win for science or free thought.

No, but it's horribly unfair to ruin what is probably going to be the most important day in this guy's life.

The shirt was made by a woman who's friends with the guy anyway. He's just quirky, not sexist. We shouldn't label him as such.

Incorrect, women aren't as weak as you think they are. He worked with many awesome women to make this mission happen BTW.

More likely this type of overreaction and hysteria will keep free thinking individuals out of science.

I have been retweeted by it :P

I stand by my opinion though despite the (anticipated) downvoting. Programming in PHP is anti-intellectual.

My problem with PHP is that it's a signal of developer laziness. There are a lot of very interesting things going on with languages nowadays. If you develop in PHP because "it pays the bills" you ARE NOT the type of developer I ever want to work with.

Honestly, I'm starting to see the same thing with Python/Ruby/JS devs. Stick with one language that you're comfortable with and never push yourself.

PHP is an order of magnitude worse in that respect than the other scripting languages.

His technical background is clearly insufficient in that he doesn't understand the BASIC technical problems in his argument. Yet, he feels he's qualified to authoritatively call for radical government access to our data in a mainstream media publication.

He's changed his position to "need more information to decide". Well DUH! how about getting that information before scaring up a call to backdoor all of our data?
