From ieee
Female IEEE members say they face significant discrimination in the workplace, including demeaning comments, inappropriate job-interview questions, and exclusion from networking events and important business meetings.
Those were among the most common negative experiences reported by more than 4,500 members—associate member grade and above—from around the world who answered a survey IEEE conducted in 2017. The results were released last year.
Almost half of those surveyed worked in academia, and about 30 percent were from private industry. The rest worked for governmental or nonprofit institutions, or were graduate students or self-employed. The majority of respondents (65 percent) lived outside the United States.

What agenda is that? Parodying the far-left by taking their arguments to such rediculous extremes that the left are forced to attack themselves?

That's what he thinks he's doing, but it's...not working. He lacks the subtlety necessary to pull it off successfully, and he's already been discarded as low-tier trash by most of the forum. Unfortunately, he's figured out how to game the system and stir shit up through the subs queue, and I have no doubt he predicted 1) someone (likely me) would go up an editor's ass over it and 2) said editor would respond by doubling down, giving him a clear and open attack channel to continue sowing chaos.
It's not exactly 4-D chess or anything. He's found an easily-exploitable loophole in the way janrinok and maybe some of the other eds operate, and is going to keep using it until it's patched, which it likely never will be. Shame, but what can you do? The most I can do is publicly and loudly call it out, so that at least awareness of said loophole is in the site's public consciousness and people will know who to blame.

Not exactly Titania McGrath [twitter.com] but if it's not working, why not just ignore it?
Here's an article [spiked-online.com] by the gay lefty behind the Titania account. Should he also be branded "alt-right" and deplatformed?

I had no idea that person even existed. Crud, now there's a name I can't used for any of my boxen in the future, which were all named after moons of the outer solar system...

LOL. That's some quality trolling. I liked the one about sandwiches.
