Women are Deadly to Hire: The Spearhead’s Many Misogynists Weigh in on Adria Richards

The tech sector fighting off feminism (artist's conception).
The tech sector fighting off feminism (artist’s conception).

So we’ve been talking a lot about the MRA response to the Adria Richards firing over the past few days, but (like a lot of the regulars here, I suspect) I’ve had one lingering question in my mind: what does eminent MRA philosopher Cooter Bee think about all of this? Well I am pleased to report that Mr. Bee has finally weighed in on the subject in a comment over on The Spearhead.

Always a model of thoughtfulness and restraint, Mr. Bee suggests that the best way to deal with the problem of women in technology – rightfully a man’s place – is for men in tech to go on a giant man strike until civilization starts to crumble:

Tech makes female jobs possible. Feminism couldn’t manage without tech. Would it be possible to attack tech and bring it down?

Not talking attack as in military operation but perhaps key males within the industry could be recruited and persuaded not to produce. After all, does anybody really think that any of the current fruits of civilization come from the female mind? Agitate against HB1 visa’s to further weaken it. Eventually, government and other powder puff industries won’t able to replace their dilapidated equipment. Where will the make-work female jobs go when there are no computers? The police state? How effective can it be with pencil, paper and shoe leather alone?

Other Spearheaders have equally enlightened and enlightening thoughts on the matter. Richard attacks women for both getting jobs in technology and for (allegedly) preferring doctors and lawyers over tech geeks.

Women are deadly to hire. Women really have no place in tech. Harsh? Perhaps.

But imagine if all the man-hours (perhaps billions worth) that has gone into soothing (the ultimately un-soothable) grrrrls’ feelings rather than genuine productivity.

And for all the women who hate the sexist men in tech, what about the sexist discrimination by women against tech men vs. say lawyers or doctors?

I’m not quite sure how not liking sexist men in tech counts as sexist discrimination, but I have to admit that I am baffled by some of the more sophisticated forms of MRA logic.

Another commenter who goes by the name David F – and whom I should point out is NOT ME NO WHY DOES HE CALL HIMSELF THAT UGH UGH IT MAKES ME EMBARRASSED FOR ALL DAVIDS WHOSE LAST NAMES START WITH AN F WAIT WHAT WAS I TALKING ABOUT SORRY THIS SENTENCE HAS GOTTEN AWAY FROM ME. Anyway, David F Who is Not Me repeats and elaborates upon an argument first made by Daflory over on A Voice for Men, which makes me think that they are in fact the same person and that David F’s last name is Flory (not Futrelle I repeat NOT Futrelle):

No one ever told Adria Richards that she was at best only an tolerated guest in the world of tech, and she could either play by male rules and contribute, or get lost. Hopefully other feminists in tech will get a similar message.

This and the Anita Sarkeesian affair suggests that hatred for feminism runs very deep in the tech world, and that a great many men and boys are willing and able to protect their domain against hostile intruders. The white-knight tech articles have made themselves ridiculous from the flood of hostile comments they generate. I think it is only a matter of time before some tech sites throw feminism under the bus. It’s not as if they really need women for anything, and if tech writers come to accept that they won’t get sex by pandering to women, what else do they have to lose?

Opus – who I am pretty sure is not actually the penguin from Bloom County – wonders why useless women go to conferences in the first place, and comes up with this explanation:

I can only conclude that women attend conferences for the purpose of being outraged and to shame any unsuspecting male. Is it any wonder men seek to work in female-free environments if at all possible.

Former Man Boobz Troll of the Year NWOslave steps up with some observations that may bring back fond memories of his many contributions to the discourse here at Man Boobz:

Western women, at least in the social media circles, seem to be hell bent on proving women have the mental and emotional fortitude of a four year old girl. Adria Richards and the media backlash is clear proof that women are incapable of functioning more than an arms length from the safety of the nest.

Joeb, meanwhile, offers these cogent thoughts:

The 800 LBs feminist beast in the room is; This women (Adria Richards) is not there to conform to Company norms and a real life work scenario .

She wants to work on her own terms . Off course those terms are the void of all physical and mentally tiring duty’s like actual work .

Its like this , Iv seen Feminist tech write blogs about tech Jobs not because they where technicians , They write blogs because they failed out of the technician Jobs . ( there opinion is useless )

Women want the administration duty’s of the Job but , The power structure changes when you have well trained men doing the work .

You can’t have a women with a BA from POO dunk business college telling a male scientist from MTI how to do his JOB .

Its another feminist leach on the privet sector . Get to many of these leaches and it sucks the life from the Corp.

After reading all these very thoughtful comments from the Spearhead men — and I didn’t even include the openly racist ones or the ones that used the c-word —  I’m not sure how anyone could doubt male superiority, in tech and in everything else.

Marie: oh well, what’s everyone besides raegus doing today?

The last bits of cleaning for Passover.

“Like sands through the hourglass, so are the trolls of our lives.”

There so should be a daytime soap called “Trolls of Our Lives” …

Plans for the day? Clean the bathroom, clean some aquarium sand, more coffee, Psych (the show) — I think, I’ve given my mother free reign of my ability to track down streaming anything.

If I get real bored I’ll redo the cable spaghetti that’s intertwined with the airline spaghetti because behind my fish tanks is a disaster.

So the same as Pecunium I guess, but without a good reason!

Wow. Argenti Aertheri and Pencunium are both cleaning. That sounds like a necessary evil XD (I hate cleaning, but I like clean living space). Good luck with it at least, you guys 🙂

I *should* clean.

But I won’t. Instead I’ll watch a Kurosawa film. Cleaning can wait till later in the week.

They’re wrong, the proper response for men to the Adria Richards case is to take offense at anything a woman says or does that is even remotely offensive and blow it completely out of proportion.

I would like a MOTHERFUCKING SCENTED CANDLE cupcake please! What flavor/scent do you think would be the most misandrist? I am partial to vanilla but is it man hating enough?

Are you sure chocolate wouldn’t be more man-hating? I mean, all girls like chocolate, right? /stereotypes. Plus, I like chocolate better 😛 Though if I do make scented candle cupcakes I will post pictures, though I’m pretty sure it won’t happen today.

Sadly I have yet to figure out how to send cupcakes over the internet. And also I haven’t baked them yet XD

@neuroticbeagle I think chocolate is a good suggestion, but there’s another option: pink. Pink, fruity, and decorated with flowers. Misandrically delicious!

Finish up at work, go home and pet the kitties, make some turkey chili, relax and watch RuPaul’s Drag Race.

Hang on, what if I made chocolate cupcakes, with fruity jam filling, and pink icing and pink flowers? Pretty misandristic, if I say so myself 😉

@hellkell

That sounds fun 🙂 (well, relax and play w/ kitties. I don’t know what rupaul’s drag race is.)

I should make a family of penguin cakes! You guys are geniuses! I will make a male penguin with an egg and he will be so cute and misandristic and I will call him floppy and he will me mine.

At least now I’m motivated to do my cake decorating XD Sadly, my mom wants to make flowers 🙁

That made me think of the other Kurosawa (Kiyoshi) and wonder how confusing his movies would be to MRAs. Especially Bright Future, since there are no women to hate.

Kurosawa films are the shiz!

I love Seven Samurai, but I think Ran is my favorite.
