Ask HN: Why has discussion of the Google Manifesto been censored?
To answer the question, what good does discussing this do?<p>The issue with &quot;Tech + Workplace + Women&quot; is a discussion topic flameworthy of abortion, gun rights, and the like. To the opposition, you are evil. Nothing good came come of this.<p>There will be people who bulletpoint everything wrong. There&#x27;ll be others that call for fallacious statements. There will be others that claim that they&#x27;re not getting proper discussion because of being screamed out. There&#x27;ll be others that just will be blatantly sexist (and removed&#x2F;hellbanned).<p>What good does discussing this do? Ive seen various combinations of these same discussions, and devolve to a textural screaming match.<p>Tl;Dr. Boring, no answers, everyone&#x27;s &quot;wrong&quot; some way and some how. How about nice mathematics or programming puzzles?<p>edit: seriously, modded down? I&#x27;d much prefer why you think I&#x27;m wrong. I&#x27;ve seen 300+ comment threads about &quot;sexism in the tech workplace&quot; more than a few times. They devolve to screaming matches and dry commentary nobody responds to.
