This is the sort of shit that gets up-moderated on Slashdot nowadays? Really?

... I can't blame male nerds for thinking that they have been specifically targeted and thus feeling they need to defend themselves.
OK, but the best defense isn't "Not all men." The best defense is to ask, "What can I do to make this better?" and then go do it.
if you argue to a woman that you've earned a relationship with her, that's sexist bullshit.
I take your point. Arguing to a woman that you've "earned" a relationship is bullshit. But earning a relationship, in and of itself? I dunno
Look, I'm actively fighting this problem (and it is a problem, nobody is saying otherwise), with you. So why are you so quick to group me with the monkeys in our society?
Look, man, if you know you're not part of the problem, there's no point in getting defensive.
Conversely, if you're getting defensive, maybe you should examine your behavior and make sure you're not part of the problem.
Geeks are frustrated because they don't have good luck with women. Rejection and loneliness results in the misogyny and creepiness lamented here.
This portion is, in my experience, exactly backwards. The people you're talking about go in with expectations that they'll have "good luck" -- that's where the misogyny and creepiness begin. And when the men in question don't have good luck, then that misogyny takes root.
Aside from that, though, you're pretty much spot on. Men, if you want something in life, whether that "something" is a job, a house or a relationship, you have to earn it.
Now we are at 13.77B, the next may narrow it down to a date and time...
I think we can be reasonably sure it was a Monday.
99% of the time that I'm flying a plane, I'm more than a mile from anything else in the sky and at least 1000 feet from anything on the ground.
99% of the time that I'm driving a car, I'm within 50 feet of another car and less than 10 feet from something else I can hit. And my car's not going all that much slower than a Cessna.
It's that other 1 percent you have to worry about.
When a citation is requested and provided, the proper counter-argument is not to ridicule the source of the citations
If the "citation" here had any intellectual integrity, you would be right. The Daily Caller does not.
Every time I hear Americans talking about the "freest country in the world", I compare my school days with what I hear about school days of American children, and I don't know whether to laugh or to cry.
Option C: Move to Canada. Or Germany, maybe.
Daily Caller? Hahahaha
Oh, wait, you were serious? Let me laugh louder!
Pick up HDDs locally and burn them in so that you aren't stuck paying return shipping for the DOA ones.
I'm pretty sure you don't pay shipping on RMAs.
Computers will not be perfected until they can compute how much more than the estimate the job will cost.
