RE: Eric Raymond's Warning to Developers (and now Investors)
The fact that mostly men are in position to mentor women will in the end spell the end to the Me To conspiracy of media. I think they where and still are trying to protect themselves from the crimes they have been committing for years.
I don't have much respect for Men who try to Mentor women, because of this kind of stuff. Truthfully if your in a position to mentor someone your also in a position to know that doing so is the trap.
I think it's ok to mentor a women.
If you care about someone and can help them gain a skill that makes their life easier, I'm all for that.
It's like if you can teach a friend, girlfriend, sister, ect. to change the oil on her car. That is a good thing. If you go out of your way looking for specifically women to "mentor", yes that is a disaster waiting to happen. Attracts the wrong kind of person.
@commonlaw then again maybe the example I gave isn't really formal mentoring.
I wouldn't say I've ever had a "mentor" ... just people who have taught me stuff. I don't think I'd ever be comfortable being an official mentor to someone.
I have seen how those relationships work. Truth is that I just don't like the inequality of how men and women are being treated by the criminal establishment. If evidence was required it wouldn't matter. I resent it because I can risk my self personally, but can't justify risking the health and wealth of my family. So it makes me feel like a cretin and dam if I do and dam if I don't.
It is unfair to me and unfair to women. It is more unfair to women than men because of the fact that more men were in a position to mentor or just help and they no longer are. So the women suffer more, but the men suffer too.
It sucks cause there are a lot of competent women who deserve the help and now they won't get it.
