Re: That's some grade-A projection you got there, kid.
"It's got nothing to do with what it takes to please and keep his wife,"
It does, actually. "It" being "your sense of insecurity and entitlement." So points off for misreading.
"it's about what it takes to make sure women are generally comfortable working in the industry."
Safe space demand snuck in. Check. Notice that we're talking about a conference, not the office where the work gets done. Or the remote home office. Lots of that going on in this industry, too.
"In an industry that still has a serious issue with men putting their hands on women without consent, particularly at conferences, having an exhibitor objectify women just aint it."
I'm not quite sure what issue the industry has with this, since it's a small clique of fat ugly bitches (m/f) with unnatural hair colours that keeps on claiming there's problems. The rest of the industry? Probably too busy getting work done. Where's the revolt from the women that allegedly get problematically pawed? You'd almost think the real issue is people wishing they would be pawed getting huffy they aren't. Well, that's not how to get some. It's also not how to deal with actual problems. So on all sides: This shoutfest habit is no way to solve anything.
"The life lessons you're referring to come from looking at the mistakes made by Boomers, those who came before them and large swathes of more recent generations."
As found on tiktok, eh.
"The previous poster's right - the attitude of the entire industry gets better off as people with those "qualities" retire."
Given that the cyber security industry is a young'un and thus has very few actual boomers in it to begin with, this doesn't seem too likely.
"> All you can offer is "okay boomer"
At the risk of speaking for the other poster"
Curious how you're caring for that risk selectively.
"You've fully misunderstood the meaning and purpose of the phrase OK boomer.
It's not "I have nothing else to offer", it's "I'm not going to waste my time explaining this to because it benefits neither of us - you're not going to change"."
I'm seeing assumption upon assumption ending with an "I can't even!"
But you haven't even tried to explain, or to argue. And that's because you have nothing to explain, or to argue with. A lot to complain about, sure. But making this brave new world of yours actually work for everyone? No, not even for you and your own clique. The in-fighting gets deafening at times. The rest of us can just watch, because you're too loud to listen to anyone else and you're not even listening to your own. Shouting each other down, yes. Listening, no.
"When someone says "Okay boomer" it usually means you've just uttered something so cliche or outdated that you've been mentally written off. It's not our responsibility to help you understand."
In old world parlance this is spelled "arrogance". You don't write off people. Well, the rest of us try very hard not to. You start with it, then complain it's everyone else's fault you couldn't do anything else. Again, you haven't even tried. Wasted a lot of words blaming boomers for your failure, but not actually tried.
"In the case of the earlier post, there's a very good chance it was triggered by this"
Triggered! Oh noes!
"> The majority of the women (and the men for that matter) that complain about these things would never be asked to do something like this because they are butt ugly!
Even without the issues in the rest of the post, that sentence is derogatory, close minded and, frankly, not even close to being accurate anyway. They talk about being married for 37 years but say things like a 12 year old."
A good bit of character assassination, but without substance. A lot of labels, but no argument why they would apply.
Because you can't, because you run on thought-stopping cliches, not on actual thought. And that's why you "can't even". There's no thought.
