The sad thing is, these SJW types usually only have the power you give them. They can't shame us for ignoring women (Grace Hopper, I salute you), gays (hi Mr. Touring, fancy a pint?) trans (Sophie Wilson, another great mind) or autistic people (half the rest of us lot). How did they make these inroads into CS?
When they tried to enter the field of Heavy Metal crying about homophobia, they were informed that one of the biggest metal heads alive was gayer than a bag of scittles and they could sod off. Or is it the genetic memory telling them not to tick off people wearing black leather. Or why do PETA activists fail to throw dye bombs at bikers?
We may be victim of tolerance, we allow everyone to try their ideas at least once - and then we can't get rid of them again.
