What the fuck does this have to do with "women in tech"?

This is Pakistan. Challenge the authority of the religious, tribal and/or self-appointed leaders and violence occurs. Being a woman has fuck all to do with it. Being in tech has fuck all to do with it.

More men too, or don't they count? Oh, it's a domestic violence statistic. Of course they don't.

Meanwhile it's a rare day that more Muslims are violently killed than total deaths at the World Trade Center on September 11th 2001, but it has happened. It's an rarer month when there aren't.

As the post to which you replied suggested, if only we could identify the common cause here.

So, any ideas about how to go about "tracking terrorists"?

One need not have a good idea to be able to identify a bad one. In absence of said good idea, the correct action to take is none at all, not carry on with the bad idea because it's all we have. That's how idiots lose limbs cutting down trees and such; it's also how a free and great nation loses that freedom and greatness.

Well, if I'm a shill, I am very poorly paid. I have noticed a lack of bees in my yard this year, too. Usually they would be all over the cherries and early bulb plants. But I have also noticed that it is cold out, except for one nice day where (surprise) the bees and wasps came out to play. The weather has since returned to "highs in the low 50s" and the bees seem to be chilling out.
