Well if you "think" all lives matter at Facebook...

In our current hyper sensitive culture there's a lot of expectations that people think a certain way.

Or privatize it so there's profit/loss.

Gotta start at the source.

Let's be honest, that consultant has never pushed a line of code in their life.

You're probably committing and pushing at acceptable times. Screw the consultant.

That's the point here and it's worth reiterating when feminists consistently say they're paid 7X cents on the dollar.

That kind of reaction has to influence his willingness to speak on other topics not directly related to tech.
