I didn't downvote you, but I think other people are because the article's
central thesis is that this social phenomenon is at its core neither radical
politics nor anti-school protests. Rather, the article claims that it's merely
a new coat of paint on the same old gang bullying/identity politics/being mean
to outsiders to increase one's own social status.

This directly relates to us in tech. Specifically, there is a huge push to
reach out to women and girls in CS. I am not opposed to females in CS at all.
I will encourage males and females alike to pursue it, because I see CS as the
great equalizer; the only thing that matters is what you produce.

What I _can 't_ stand are these "Women in technology" conferences and
workshops to "close the (gender) gap". Why? Because if you focus on one group,
then you are actively _not_ focusing on another. Given the dichotomy defined
by their stated
