Comment on Notes from UPenn's Forum on Brogramming and Sexism in Computer Scienceparent

Ah yes, the ol' "You're being negative by pointing out the negative thing I'm doing!" argument.

Anyone trying to point out a hurtful behavior is being positive. They're trying to help you not hurt other people. You telling someone they should be nicer when you're being a shitheel is a privileged behavior. "Sorry, but you're not being nice enough so I refuse to listen. I might be sexist, but you hurt my feelings by pointing it out!"

Grow up.
