A feminist summons a shitstorm via Twitter; a dude gets fired over nothing

I'd be willing to bet she only complained because the guy is such an herb.
If it was some ripped alpha behind her somehow I don't think she would have taken the photo or tweeted anything about it.

She'll win if there's a case. Yes, it's nice that she was fired, but let's be honest here, she has a vagina, and that means feminists and their white knights will steam roller everyone in their way.

Adrina Richards embodies the reason many men expatriate from the US

I can't blame the guy because if he's realized that somebody who overhears his conversations can have power of his job (and essentially power over his income and ability to provide for his kids) it's understandable that he'd put his ego aside in the interests of his family.
Even without bringing game/alpha-beta considerations into this, apologizing when you're being canned for what are essentially political reasons frankly almost never works out for anyone. This I have gathered just from simple observations of the shitstorms and scandals that regularly break out on the Internet. I really don't know why people still do it. 9 times out of 10 it's not going to make the scandal go away or get you your job back, while at the same time you lose the respect of sympathizing bystanders because of your cringing pussytude.
That said, here's another thought I had (and please don't take it as support for Adria and that whole detestable crew). If a worker is truly valuable to a company, chances are the company - provided it's run on normal capitalist principles - is going to stick by him to the maximum extent feasible. Mr. Yang did not have to fire that herb, if anything in terms of pure publicity he would have been better off keeping him because the court of public opinion was firmly against Adria even on the Internet and Twitter (although granted, he might not have realized that). Still, the alacrity with which he was let go means that another possible explanation is that that programmer wasn't working up to scratch, and his company was already looking forwards to seeing him slip up so as to fire him.

It's scary how Orwellian Adria Richards actions were. It's as if Adria Richards is on the Junior Anti-Sex League (and, yes, modern feminism is in a big part about using government power to suppress sexual and Red Pill discussion), taking out her portable telescreen to report people to the Thought Police.

People are missing the people in my book. Sexist or not, unless they were harassing her, they weren't doing anything morally wrong.

You know what makes me sick the most? The sense of entitlement. Chicks like her want to be able to enter the work place, but then demand that everyone has to change to what THEY want so as to accommodate them. No sexual jokes, no pictures of hot chicks, no guy talk at all. Pisses me off.

Rogan talks about this on his most recent podcast. He jumps around and is a bit convoluted but it comes up repeatedly during the first hour, esp around min 35. Also talks generally about white knight, regret=rape. It is one of those cases where he gets it right.

It's all part of the same problem in my book. My stance is, unless a guy is harassing you, shut the fuck up.
You don't like a sexual joke in the work place? Shut the fuck up.
You don't like that calendar on the wall? Shut the fuck up.
You don't like it when men act like men? Shut the fuck up.
You don't like it when a guy calls a woman a bitch even though she was being a bitch? Shut the fuck up.
I don't care how uncomfortable you are, I don't care how offended you are either, unless someone is harassing you or threatening you, SHUT YOUR CUNT MOUTH. The entire male gender should not have to change to accommodate you, and this is what I am talking about when I say that people are missing the point.

I once worked for a chain of community newspapers where HR kept ratcheting up the sexual harassment rules. One of the no-no's was that there was to be no "offensive literature" in the building.
We had a female reporter who was covering a sex scandal and my running joke was that if she read her own articles while she was on company time, she'd then have to turn herself in for sexually harassing herself.
Now I wonder how far from the truth I was with that joke.
