i did read that person's comment. Nobody else mentioned rape until you did.

Yet my comment was about blaming victims. So can you admit you're an intellectually dishonest hack that should bow out now and get a job as a CNN contrarian talking head? I heard there's been some vacancies made.

Can you actually prove that I'm wrong or are you going to admit you're a liar? Because there's a big problem with your non-argument so far since you assume that the discussion isn't about victim blaming when the grandparent comment was victim blaming. So yeah, you need to really get your argument out and not latch onto the inconsequential things in my argument you don't like (like the tone or whatever). Either stand up and deliver an argument or go away.

Edit: Also down voting me won't make your argument correct.

i'm actually not down voting you. However, other people are.

do they get paid okay?

Depends on what you consider "okay". For most people who will join I suspect they will think it's okay money.

>like a few WNBA players might be able to give NBA players a tough challenge

this is not true at all. Maybe a WNBA could score a few points here and there. But even the worst NBA player is better than the best WNBA because of the biological difference between men and women. The women's national hockey team and soccer team scrimmage regularly against 16 boys and get beat by those boys. The difference is magnitude when a full grown man actually did scrimmage against them.

But to relate to the central topic, the biological difference between men and women in programming is insignificant.

I meant a challenge, relative to the general population, though that's a pretty meaningless assertion. But yes, my larger point was to say that presuming the gender gap in programming to be based on biological differences seems premature, given that computer science actually has female equivalents to Jerry West and Steph Curry.
