The paragraph you quoted didn't adress this specific case, but I see you found that out. It was just something general. On this forum, people are the complete opposite of the super feminists like Anita Sarkeesian. For the most part, people here can't even acknowledge the possibility that this case is legit discrimination. I'm not saying it is, but people here that don't know anything about the case are pretty darn friggin quick to say it isn't. And this mentality isn't exclusive to this case, it's just a general behavior on the forum. That was what I was getting at, and that's what I meant by it not being black or white. You don't have to be either super feministic Anita Sarkeesian, or naive and think that there is no discrimination in the western world.

No, I understand it now. But I am with them in this case. I am all but a fan of MS, but to me MS and discrimination are two words that do not match. I do not have any personal experience on working at/for MS (I'm a Unix guy. I'm superior to that crap. lol) but in the other big American IT companies I've been working for one wasn't even allowed to THINK sexist. For just making a public sexist remark one can get fired. Which is especially true for managers. Then while it's true that the IT technical people are mostly men, the HR employees are usually women. At least in my small statistical champion. I doubt they are very keen on pushing a sexist agenda. So in this particular case it comes quite natural to call out for bollocks. But let's see how it will end up.

And to me Anita Sarkeesian and the likes are exactly the problem. After crying wolf far too many times people do not believe the wolf exists anymore. I'd love to know what those feminazi think about the European feminists Femen (which somehow I support. At least they fight for real issues). See, the various Anita pushing their agenda get popular and thus richer, the Femen ladies get incarcerated. Tell me who's more real.

Its the same thing when "Its because Im a lack man" was a thing. There where instance on racesim out there, but most used it to try to get away with anything, then people caught up to it and started calling them out on the bullshit. Now its pariarchy this, mysogyny that, sexism here, now most people are not afraid to call them out on their bullshit.

There are some valid cases out there, but they are buried under the vast bullshit claims.
