'They have their self-regarding entitlement feminism, and ceaselessly vaunt their independence, but the reality is, come the epidemic plague or foreign invasion, they'd become precisely the sort of useless baggage you'd trade for a box of shotgun shells or a jerry can of diesel.'
As well as criticizing their character, he also took aim at the appearance of his female coworkers.
'There were few women one would call conventionally attractive at Facebook,' he writes.
We’re inclusive dammit that’s why were expelling you. They proved his point in one idiotic move. And it never crossed feminist minds to do a little introspection.
Guy’s got balls. I’d be too afraid of unemployment. I’d keep my mouth shut but maybe this guy marches to a different drummer. It would be interesting to see what his futuretntails. Remember-there only has to be an ‘element’ of truth to what’s said and written. It’s the reaction that makes people butt hurt.
It’s not against all women but against progressive women.
If it had been against women who cherish the traditional roles of women and marriage he might have got a pay boost.
Way to prove his point. But they don’t care. On to the next target. The mob is never satisfied.
He was just speaking his truth.
That description made me LOL! Sounds like all my woke girlfriends. And yes, when hard times come, I’d trade them for a box if ammo. And I’m a woman!
Apple fired a Latinx?
Racists!
Apple’s doing him a favor. Now he can devote his time to finding an employer where he won’t have to work for or with women.
Chaos Monkeys will skyrocket to the #1 position in Amazon soon enough, if Amazon allows it too, that is.
In fairness, this is true for probably 95% of the men in the bay area too. Or more.
It has never been ill-advised to be magnanimous. While repercussions from such incidences have become more certain and generally designed to inflict much more pain, this kind of thoughtless criticism has never been without risks. We can at least return some civility to our side and will gain sympathy from the masses. You catch more flies with sugar than salt
“Feminism was established to allow unattractive women easier access to the mainstream.”- Rush Limbaugh
“Shotgun shells or a Jerry can of diesel”
That’s some funny stuff right there..
“Guy’s got balls. I’d be too afraid of unemployment.”
He worked for Goldman Sachs for years, was near the top at Facebook and consults for twitter and other co’s.
He said what he did because he does not need the money.
This guy is a great writer, and a red meat conservative I’d like to buy a beer.
What in the world possessed Martinez to even apply at Apple given his remarks in print?
Did he not think he would be found out? It’s one thing to think you won’t have your past be used against you with Social Media. (Cause you will)
But when there is a printed book?
Dumb. Just Dumb.
Not really. The dirty little truth is that he probably got laid more from that statement than you can ever imagine.
I guess the truth hurts.
That's the line he got fired for. Facebook can't have the truth out there that they hire so many uggos.
Does anyone think that a company finds happy and attractive people to create false "followers" to cheat advertisers while selling user data to Communist China? No, they find miserable uggos to do that work.
