Women are logging off the internet en masse on December 2nd, 2016 to protest how the tech industry is "stacked against anyone who is not a cisgender white male".
>It's no secret that the tech industry is stacked against anyone who is not a cisgender white male. And we have had enough of it.
>We design, create, maintain, and manage the critical infrastructure and applications that power the internet economy. We struggle to be recognized, promoted, and paid for the intellectual and emotional labor that is demanded of us, while our male peers enjoy their positions of privilege.
>As recent distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks have shown, by combining resources and working in tandem, the very infrastructure of the web can be brought to a screeching halt. We believe that without us the same effect would be felt rippling through every aspect of online life.
>We are calling on all women and non-binary people to stand in solidarity and pledge to stay home and stay offline in protest of being constantly overlooked, undervalued, underpaid, and downright attacked for daring to demand basic dignity and respect.
Maybe if women want to be represented in the tech sphere, they should stop being so god-awful at math? Just a thought.
Thank goodness. As if I really need another Mic or AJ+ video clip on my Faceberg timeline.

>Women are logging off the internet en mass gosh golly say it ain't so, however will we recover
Jace Rodriguez
Will eternal September finally pass?
Adam Lee
>stay home and stay offline they just made it impossible for themselves
Kayden Wood
>We believe that without us the same effect would be felt rippling through every aspect of online life. So they think that without a mass of SJW retards, the internet will grind to a halt? I suppose they'll claim it did and continue to shout after they all log off and then realize that nobody cared and the internet went on as normal.
Then again, that's a day of e-begging lost for all of these paetron queens.

>this happens >Internet is fun to use for a whole day >all websites see a massive increase in quality of discussion and content
Chase Scott
Nice, the internet will be awesome for day.
William White
I have a hard time thinking of something I give less of a shit about except possibly constipation.
This isn't a legit thing, or at least, it's not something that will be widespread.
Noah Allen
But this would just harm women in tech by making them look stupid with this complete lack of understanding of what DoS/DDoS attacks are.
Eli Baker
This shit is going to make me burst a blood vessel.
WHITE MEN ARE UNDERREPRESENTED IN TECH
Tech is full of Asians. If you want to have more representative ~diversity~, you have to get rid of Asians, and actually HIRE MORE WHITE MEN YOU RACIST FUCKING RETARDS
Gavin Reed
Post future sex bot appearance you will demand once they become available and make 3DPD women obsolete.
James Smith
Any woman participating in this will spend the whole day on Facebook and Twitter bragging about how great she is because she isn't using the internet today.
Grayson Martinez
>Suddenly the internet began running faster that day. Due to women being replaced by competent employees.
Jack Rivera
mongolian falconry board user not affected
Brody Rivera
They're making the internet great again as a protest of how much they dislike tech?
Jesus christ, women are fucking stupid.
Grayson James
Full of fucking poo-in-loos to be specific.
Colton Wilson
>Only for one day
Fucking lightweights, all they're going to do is make it a slow day on Twitter & Facebook. I predict most of them will watch Netflix all day completely missing the purpose of their dumb protest.

A day isn't long enough. Better make it a year to truly see that noone cares.

>If you can't stay home from work... >Recognizing that the ability to stay home from work is a privelege and may cause hardship for some women, if you are interested in participating you can alternately stay silent on social media on December 2nd. Our silence will be noticed. >privelege >privelege

Go to Silicon Valley and tell me how many white males you find Most of those jobs have been outsourced and the remaining ones are Poo and Gook work visas

>>It's no secret that the tech industry is stacked against anyone who is not a cisgender white male. And we have had enough of it. I can't find work in digital marketing/media due to bias towards hiring women. The previous company went bankrupt due to the fuck ups of two women that the company was afraid to fire for fear of being sued. >WTF IS SHE GOING ON ABOUT.
Adrian Martin
Holy shit yes please. All womyn nd fags off the internet? Would be paradise
Jason Ward
>I can't find work in digital marketing/media due to bias towards hiring mostly women. The previous company I worked for went bankrupt due to the fuck ups of two women that the company was afraid to fire for fear of being sued.

Am I reading that right?
Austin Collins
I was going to post the same thing. Gj Japanon
Ayden Price
They should stay offline for a year and really teach us a lesson.
Owen King
Women leaving the Internet? Thank fucking KEK.
>We struggle to be recognized, promoted, and paid for the intellectual and emotional labor that is demanded of us, while our male peers enjoy their positions of privilege.
This is a good example of how women do 1/3 the work and expect 5/3 of the credit for it. Look how self-congratulatory they are. The only thing that ever goes through their damn heads is that they're not receiving EVEN MORE praise and attention. They always think their mere existence is what keeps everything going simply because they literally do not notice or care about the actual work, actual men to do keep it going.
This is so typical of women. Anything with a result that humanity considers "good" or enjoys, they'll always try and take credit for it and EMOTIONALLY ASSOCIATE THEMSELVES WITH IT. Which is really what it's about. They're completely toxic lack of self-esteem.
Isaiah Bell
Spread it though, we need as many dumb cunts getting offline as possible.
Benjamin Morgan
For real though, remember pre ~2004 when there were no women on the internet? Fuck I miss that shit.
Aaron Rodriguez
>Our silence will be noticed.
>"Hey guys, does anyone notice that nagging, whining noise is gone? What is this...? Is this real life? Are we dead? Is this heaven? Is it over? Are we free?"
Joseph Russell
Yeah I'd actually say that period lasted up until 2010.
Why then? That's when iPhones became a thing. That's when Facebook invited EVERYONE on the Internet through their phones. That's when girls started getting online in droves because they could take pictures of themselves and get tons of attention for it.
It was a really distinctive event. Like over-night almost, the Internet went from a place of liberty and freedom to a place where everyone was offended and censorship started happening.
Because of women.
Colton Harris
I'm gonna go ahead and say that's a """WOMAN""" if you catch my drift.
Matthew Morris
They use "white men" because labeling any other race will get them called racist and they know it, because they're the ones that do it.
Grayson Jackson
Somebody post that misogynist pic about women tactics in arguments.
Jayden Miller
Oh fuck, better stock up on minions images lads.
Daniel Scott
That sounds fantastic.
What other great deeds can we trick women into doing?
Carson Butler
One can dream
Connor Lewis
>It's no secret that the tech industry is stacked against anyone who is not a cisgender white male

That's a funny way to spell "Asian and Indian"
Ayden Young
So the internet is going to be good again on Dec 2nd is what you're saying to me
Eli Williams
I don't care, Sup Forums will be exactly the same whether or not this happens
Cooper James
And nothing of value was lost
Adrian King
This is fuckin' bullshit.
Everybody knows that there's no girls on the internet.
Asher Lewis
Yeah 2008-2010 was the tipping point, but it all started around 2001~2004 with myspace/livejournal/AIM gaining popularity and pulling women onto the internet. in 1999 there were probably 200 guys for every 1 female who actively used the internet.
Ian Brooks
so the internet is going to go back to 1999 culturally?
fuckin' sweet, something awful might be bearable again.
Matthew Bailey
So,like,10 chicks will be doing this?

>Women are logging off the internet en masse on December 2nd, 2016
No they aren't. Modern women have no hobbies, this is like saying all crack addicts are making the conscious effort not to smoke crack for a day.
Nathaniel Lewis
...
Julian Cruz
Okay, I get your point there. That is true. There were always TECHNICALLY girls online, but they only ever used it for the same shit they use phones for, just communication/social shit.
Ayden Lopez
>white males
My office has more chinese dudes than white males as well as a few other asians. And the only woman gets treated exactly the same as everyone else except less banter because she's quiet
Bloggers know nothing about tech based work
Adrian Ramirez
>protesting by doing something that most people want you to do anyways Women are so inept.
