I ll start : I have been following a pretty known tech/Linux journalist, and always found he is a fun dude to listen to, with interesting tech takes

The fact that he is also very openly “american conservative” (aka, religious & weapon nut, anti abortion, etc) annoys me, but i keep those things separate. And he does keep it separate too (politics channel vs tech channel), which is a great decision.

    I’m a man, which means I am part of “men.”

    Lots of men are predatory, objectify women and scoff at feminism. Being a man, people just inherently assume I’m like that too.

    I deal with it by engaging only with people who demonstrate the ability to listen and withhold judgment.

      That is as sexist as it gets from whatever dumb people think about literally 50% of the world’s population as a monolith

      Indeed. Oftentimes they kinda resolve their cognitive dissonance by saying ‘Ah, you got a fiance, you have to say that wink’. As if there is no other logical explanation.
