Let's try this.
One of the consequences is that [some significant portion of] men are extremely sensitive to being criticized by women
Do you still disagree? Because that is the statement the author was making.
you're being so obtuse, i would think you were trolling if you didn't sound so sincere.
One of the consequences is that men are extremely sensitive to being criticized by women
This is something that is simply not true of all men so why make statements like that?
that's you, defending us men against criticism.
Oh, i assure you, the post is terribly ironic. You are making a post defending men against criticism, against an article that says men are overly sensitive and quick to defend themselves. Delicious.
Every time a man responds to "men are this..." with "not ALL men!" an angel gets her wings.
We get it. Not ALL men. The author was not implying all men. Just some. That's still too many! There is still a problem that needs fixing! Self centered asshats assume they are being personally attacked, and feel the need to defend themselves, but THE CONVERSATION ISN'T ABOUT YOU.
Once that hurdle is overcome, maybe we can move on to actually making progress.
i suppose you don't appreciate the irony in your post, but i do. i appreciate it enough for both of us.
yes, we understand that NOT ALL MEN are extremely sensitive to being criticized by women.
some of them are. plenty enough to cause problems. jumping in and saying NOT ALL MEN is just derailing the conversation before it can get anywhere productive. way to defend us downtrodden and persecuted men everywhere!
Feminist hypocrites? First time for everything I suppose.
We all know prison rapes don't count. After all, only evil people are in prison to begin with.
Not all sexual assaults are rape. Way to move the goalposts. You work for the FBI?

Nobody expects the....
Wait. Wrong meme.
The same exact reasoning to justify TSA
They're incomparable. TSA is mandated by governments, you have no choice in the matter. Using a particular brand of smartphone is not. You are free to use a smartphone that doesn't use Google services and indeed are free to buy a Nexus 5 and then say "no" to the billion and one "trade data for feature?" prompts that appear when switched on the first time. No government goon is going to step in and insist that you send all your data to Google.
In fact, if you would prefer a smartphone that has a different data/features tradeoff then - conveniently! - Google provides a rather good open source operating system for free that you can use to build one. If others feel the same way you do you can even sell them without paying Google a dime.
Depends how you define "very popular" I guess. The most popular way to bypass state-level censorship in the Arab world and elsewhere is a product called HotSpot Shield. When Turkey blocked Twitter some time ago, HSS experienced 1000% growth and reached 1.1 million installs in the iOS App Store alone within only four days, with 800,000 regular users.
In contrast Tor went from 30,000 to 40,000 "direct connects" from Turkey.
HSS doesn't get much press in the geek world as it's just a plain old VPN run by a company in California that inserts ads into people's web pages to pay for the bandwidth costs. But usage wise it utterly dominates Tor.
While all that is true, Pages is much better for layout than MS word or LibreOffice's Word processor. Sometimes people like good tools
Looking for tools? Slashdot is the right place.
The rent is too damned high!
RTFS? It says that in the summary. The goal here is to alert people who don't know their internet connection is being used for piracy and who aren't OK with freeloading, parents being the given example.
Probably. I must be getting too old for slashdot, because I'd rather concede the point instead of arguing until my dying breath over slight nuances of words and corporate governance.
HELP!!!! I'm being held prisoner in /usr/games/lib!
