I'm not an internet tough guy though... I'm just a man. Nothing special. Comes with having balls.

Which implies that women are somehow lesser because they lack balls which as per the wiki definition is sexist.

It would be sexist for a woman to imply that she's better then men because she has a vagina, yes.

You do know that its this attitude, the one that you are not just displaying but also very blatantly defending, that is the problem, right? You say stuff which is demeaning without even realizing that what you've said is hurtful to others, you are a moron, the Japanese have the perfect term for you...kis-sama

All mental asylums are filled with people claiming to be awake or the only sane ones left, you seem similarly inclined...

Also, I am not talking about conservativism in the American Republican vs Democrat context, I am talking about conservatives in the sense that they have historically opposed any change in the social structure, holding back human progress, people who thought that the problem of racism was not a problem and that the people demanding equal rights just needed thicker skins, about people who thought feudalism and mercantilism were the best social constructs ever and opposing any change towards a more liberal society, when I call you a conservative, it has nothing to do with your political affiliation (or lack of it) but with what you say and what you (apparently) believe.

Also, when you say enemies, what exactly do you mean? Do you mean something like the /. feature or do you mean enemies in actual life? If it's the former, I don't seem to have any enemies, if its the latter, I don't actually live in the wild West, y'kno?

At least I am attempting to sound intelligent, you on the other hand are insisting on sounding like a git and apparently, you take pride in it, go figure what that makes you

And I have yet to hear anyone tell a man to go back to the kitchen (regardless of the man's ethnicity). And men are generally not sent emails containing their home address to make a point and if you know men who're being threatened like that and they are happy to take it (because of their thick skins), the problem is with their attitude, the author of this blog post has done what any sane person should do, seen a problem and attempted to fix it the way she thought was best.

Also, how many men have had a pornographic comic series based around them and some online douchebag? You think this behaviour is not gender specific? You are dumber than dumb and dumber

You are not a conservative? Your posts reeked of conservatism but even then before posting my comment, I checked your posting history and you most certainly are a poster child for conservativism (meh, I had some time to burn and your pointless and rather offensive diatribe was kinda sorta pissin me off so why not)

Wow and there you prove, beyond any doubt, just how sexist you actually are

You're a snake is what you are...there happy now?

I have no idea what sort of community you live in but that is not the norm in civilized societies, no wonder you seem so confused

In simpler words, you're a conservative troll

That is more a problem with the rest of the world, not with the West...depending on how strong the conservative groups in a given country are, the situation would be that much worse...you are a conservative, luckily for most Americans, you are not as dominant as you'd like to be hence you are left to spew your vitriol on the internet instead of successfully taking your country back to the stone age

So the expectation to not be insulted for who you are and the expectation to not be threatened with violence is the same as demanding special treatment? What world do you live in?

I know plenty of white males most of whom are pretty nice guys, you otoh are an idiot which has nothing to do with your ethnicity, your gender or your orientation...as to your rhetoric about how the world is discriminating against straight white men when the topic of discussion is how women working in a particular industry are harassed, its pathetic, it reeks of attention whoring and from what I can tell, you have a very childish attitude of 'me, me, me'...I am sure you'll find some aspect of discrimination against straight white men somewhere in my comment but rest assured, that's just in your head...you could have been from an entirely different planet and your comment would have merited this very same response...

I'm not asking for anything that I don't ask from myself.

Wow, you actually expect to get threatening emails containing your address to prove to you that the person making the threat is fully capable of carrying out their threat? Errrmmm whatever floats your boat...just don't expect others to put up with that sort of shit without trying to do something about it, oh look, that's exactly what the writer of the post is doing, trying to do something about it to raise awareness but I am sure she is somehow discriminating against straight white blokes or being childish, how dastardly of her

Sadly I don't have any mod points

Its not? Maybe when you are amongst a group of friends who each rib each other...on a public forum, it most definitely is equal to racism or sexism or homophobia...

good for you BasilBrush, keep drinking the kool-aid, keeps the reality distortion field strong

I'm whining about the possibility that Google might be coercing manufacturers into adding this warranty condition.

That's not what you were whining about just a couple posts ago...and the reason the manufacturers void the warranty if the OS or bootloader is modified is to protect themselves from having to deal with bricked devices in a failed attempt to flash a custom ROM. Honestly? The number of times I've seen people moaning at XDA-devs for bricking their device is unbelievable after they've tried to flash a ROM meant for a different device onto their own device, eg on a certain ROM for Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-i9505, the one with a Snapdragon 600 processor and 4G-LTE connectivity (the name of the device the ROM was meant for was clearly stated, sadly I can't remember which ROM it was), this person was trying to warn everyone that the ROM had bricked his phone and the developer was a dick because he would not help him out, he was insisting that he had followed the instructions to the letter when trying to install the ROM on a Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-i9500, the one with an Exynos processor without 4G-LTE. If the warranty hadn't been voided, this person would have definitely tried to return the device to Samsung and Samsung don't want him to return the device to them when the device was bricked through no fault on their part. What gives you the idea that Google have anything to do with the manufacturers voiding warranty if the OS is modified? Seems like you're clutching at straws just to somehow find a reason to keep whining at Google.
