OSCON keynote: Standing out in the crowd

You're prepared to get offended but then you can't understand why other people get offended? You're truly warped.

Feminism isn't about discriminating against men. Feminism isn't about promoting women over men. It's about giving women - and everyone - the respect we all deserve. It's about trying to redress the imbalance caused by a hugely biased environment where discrimination against certain types of people is not only endemic but completely beneath notice. It's not that 80% of men never see anything that counts as sexist behaviour - it's that they see sexist behaviour and don't think it's worth mentioning because they weren't the target of the behaviour.

And no amount of saying "you must respect my version of the word 'sexism'" gains you any respect.

Have fun,

Paul
