Travoltus's Journal: The utter misogyny of /. 's 2006 April Fool's stunt

Pink website themes. "OMG! Ponies! Unicorns! 3 3 3 " etc etc etc

Come on, Slashdot, that's just wrong.

I'm as big a hater of male bashing and of stupid women as anyone, but you hit a lot of friendly targets today. A lot of intelligent women were insulted by your broadbrush tactics.

Bash stupid women all day long, hell, let's give them a taste of their own misandrist medicine, but leave the good people out of this. There was no legitimate reason for Slashdot to take such a prolonged, broad brushed and mean spirited swipe at women like they did on this sad day, 1 april 2006.

From a grizzled veteran of the battle of the sexes, and a frazzled and relentless hunter of male bashers: Grow up.

Let Me Get This Straight

Despite the fact that every single day of the year this place is a monument to every stereotype of males and nerds you can think of, you're taking exception to the one day that they converted it into the exact opposite of everything it normally is?

You need a hobby.

I agree that every single day of the year this place is a monument to every stereotype of males and nerds that one can think of, but it is that way almost 100% because guys do it to themselves.

IOW you need to get a life if you do not want to feel insulted by what goes on daily at slashdot.
