> "potential angry male ramifications"
The simple fact is, trolls will attack anyone they perceive to be low-hanging fruit. And trolls can be anyone— male or female. Why should anyone trust anything a troll says, including that they may represent themselves as male? They will present themselves as anything that the target might find offensive. Only one thing can be safely said about trolls as a group: They want you to suffer. And they will pick targets who are more likely to publicly express anguish or outrage. For trolls this is a win. This is why women in the public eye are more likely to get death or rape threats— because they are likely to be goaded into responding publicly.
Another indicator of bias is calling it the "Buy American Hire American" OFFENSIVE. For any other President in my lifetime it would have been an INITIATIVE. Why choose a word from military nomenclature to describe an economic move? Perhaps The Guardian, wants to look at it this way because it might affect the hiring of British workers.

Women are still far under-represented in the large coal mining and garbage collection industries.

Because Bitcoin has a huge first-mover advantage over all other cryptocurrencies. Bitcoin is a grand experiment that could succeed dramatically or fail utterly. The other current attempts at cryptocurrencies are also-rans that more often than not are simply Bitcoin clones with some minor tweaks that add nothing of significance when compared to the magnitude of Bitcoin's dramatic breakthroughs.

This rings all sorts of alarm bells.
The Onion, of course, pointed out this disturbing trend some time ago:
...and I'll also add that Flying Logic is not eligible for inclusion in the new Mac App Store because it uses a deprecated technology: Apple Java.
I'm the developer of Flying Logic, a highly graphical planning application that runs beautifully on Mac, Windows, and even Linux thanks to Java. But I'm a Mac guy, and I do all my development on the Mac, and I use a number of other Java applications on my Mac including IntelliJ and MySQL Workbench. I also develop iOS software, and I've had numerous requests for Flying Logic on the iPad, which would require a binary-compatible JRE. So even though I'm an Apple fanboy and supportive of many of their moves, I'm quite disappointed that Apple has left a huge question mark hanging over the fate of Java applications on the Mac.
To put more restrictions on the time and manner of cannabis procurement and consumption that are any greater than those that are already placed on the procurement and consumption of alcohol or tobacco, you would need to first show that cannabis is more dangerous than those other substances. In fact, it is far less dangerous.

Wow, that's a lot of adults using the Internet!
