    This article appears to be pretty even-handed.

    My assessment? Get fucked, Ladybird. I don’t want to trust my web security to people who think like this, especially since web security is very political and will only become more so as the Trump administration continues.

      After reading this, in particular the “The Facts” section, my understanding is: he got pulled into making a political statement about gender and he didn’t want to get involved with that.

      Yet again, that “crowd” didn’t like Ladybird’s refusal to play, therefore that “crowd” does what they’re known best doing: cry high and loud on the internet playing the victim.

      In a sense, that “crowd” shoved their political agenda down his throat, and that’s the only thing I personally find reprehensible here.

        Refusal to make a “political” statement is very much political when the politics in question is about acknowledging non-men exist. There is no politically neutral choice when there are two options who are both political.

          That’s totally false.

          One can write using the generic masculine form without making a political statement.

          This is not even close to not acknowledge there is non-men in this world.

          What you are putting forward is absurd. No one is saying that only men exist anywhere in here.
