When it does come out, I hope others can be constructive without coming across like a cunt. Nobody likes that stuff, and as we all know, it's not very helpful.

This is the state of America, a kid with a laptop will go to jail for 30 + years and a banker cunt that stole billions or laundered billions for drug cartels gets nothing. How sad it all is.

That's the point of this article, but all I can think is: But damn does the Uber CEO look like a cunt. There's absolutely no reason to treat your competitors like that in order to feed your tough-guy ego.

A polite lady candidly told me that I clearly hadn't proof read my CV because in the third paragraph it read 'I am a smelly cunt' randomly in the text. Presumably a prank gone wrong.

I didn't read every comment on HN about this whole fiasco, but I didn't see any comments using words like "bitch" or "cunt". So I'm assuming that they got downvoted pretty hard.

Yes, like many people I will fall for the "that sounds hard" trick, but if I see you pull that multiple times I'll file you under "manipulative cunt" unless I have a good reason to assume you're that one in a million who actually gives a fuck. Because most of us really, really don't.

Women playing games like Halo need to keep their gender a secret or risk being bombarded with constant threats of rape, being called a bitch or a cunt and then finding their inbox filled with pictures of dicks.

I saw a complaint about "being called a cunt on a mailing list, and no one said anything about/to the person saying it". That's equality for you. If someone called me a dick, or an asshole, on a mailing list, in no way would I expect others to rally to my defense. I'd have to make a choice. Do I respond in kind, do I not respond in kind, do I not respond at all? Do I escalate, do I de-escalate? Do I walk away for a few hours/days while I contemplate what to do, or do I simply blacklist the individual? But at no point would I expect others to step in and defend me for me. I'll defend myself. I expect it of myself, and everyone else expects it of me as well, including the women. Is that gender bias on the women's part? No, it's differing expectations. everyone will think the person is an asshole, whether they called the female a cunt, or the male a dick/asshole/what have you.
