@esekansaijinben The wage gap is provable with both broad statistics, and on a micro level at companies like Google. It does exist.

@esekansaijinben I work in the tech industry, and I see systematic discrimination against women; that's bad for the industry & for people.

@esekansaijinben It'd be hard to argue that equal pay, for example, isn't an important goal. Equal opportunies are important.

@esekansaijinben Totally, and I didn't mean to imply that. But, eg, anti-war movements typically have been good (imo); feminism also.

@esekansaijinben My negative reaction to GG is in part from legitimately engaging in the past and being called a "fucking commie" etc.

@esekansaijinben The history of cultural progress is full of important counter-cultural movements, from feminism to anti-war. All beneficial

@esekansaijinben Agree that maintaining debate is really important - and, eg, throwing up straw men is another way of squashing that.

@esekansaijinben I don't disagree. My opinion is that counter-cultural movements are good, and help culture evolve.

@esekansaijinben I can't imagine why anyone would have a quarrel with someone wanting to take ownership of their identity & appearance.

@esekansaijinben Why is their hair even remotely relevant? But I'd imagine it's about owning your own persona, not adhering to traditions.

@dlin71 And as soon as someone lands on a square and has to pay rent they move to Oakland. It's a very quick game.
