I remember gamergate... it seems a thousand centuries ago. We went into a forum to point out some practices in the media that were deceptive. We left the forum after we had our say and judged the situation, and this woman came running after us and she was screeching. She couldn't hear. We went back there, and they had come and deleted every post, and labeled it hate speech. There they were wiped from the servers. Words of hate speech. And I remember... I... I... I cried, I wept like some grandfather. I wanted to tear my teeth out; And then I realized... like I was shot... like I was shot with a diamond... a diamond ring right through my forehead. And I thought, my God... the genius of that! The genius! The will to do that! Perfect, genuine, complete, crystalline, pure.
And then I realized they were stronger than we, because they could stand that these were not monsters, these were women... college graduates. These women who fought with their hearts, who had beta bucks, who had dogs and cats, who were filled with carbs... but they had the strength... the strength... to do that. If I had ten divisions of those women, our troubles in the tech world would be over very quickly. You have to have women who are moral... and at the same time who are able to utilize their primordial instincts to shame without feeling... without passion... without judgment... without judgment! Because it's judgment that defeats us.
