Their recent edits to the pao article after it was published showcase the double standards even more.

The last three edits switch between "sexist" and "male-dominated".

It's like they are the propaganda wing of a culture war.

"When news broke today that New York Times executive editor Jill Abramson was being replaced, it was surprising in that she has only been in the position for three years. It was more surprising when NPR and New Yorker reporters explained a big reason why: she had complained about unequal pay after she discovered she was being paid “considerably less” than the male editor, Bill Keller, that she had replaced."

Low paid editor replaced highly paid editor?

The only thing unusual about that is saying 'editor' instead of 'worker'.

this whole thing is hilarious to me, watching the old media and SJW crowd heroically try to turn this grifter sociopath into some sort of martyr for the sacred cause of equality

How does this belong in /v/funny when it's just a meme for /v/adviceanimals ?

It doesn't, but the mods don't want to start banning things like memes from subreddits. I hate them, but it's up to us as a community to speak with our voats to get memes off v/funny

What's wrong with subverses having rules and mods enforcing the rules?

I mod /v/shortfilms, I'll delete anything that breaks the simple rules.

I have read a couple of different op-eds about the recent step down of Pao. I wish I could say of how surprising I was on how far off most of these writers are with what was truly happening over there at Reddit. Pao was the tip of the iceberg. We all know it, they don't.

That's the problem with modern journalism, they don't do research or try and find out the details of what they're reporting about. A lot of it is kneejerk reporting or it seems like they just get on the bandwagon, piggybacking what other uninformed news sources report.

Makes you wonder what else they're getting completely wrong.

Not once do they mention that she was married to a guy who stole $150 million from police and teacher pensions across several states, that her property has been seized as a result, or that the amounts she was suing Klenier for, then demanding not to appeal the suit, were precisely the same numbers that he needed to get out of criminal jams.

They're bending over backward to paint her as the victim of a male-dominated hive-mind, when in reality she's Bonnie to Buddy's Clyde.

I love watching them both get legally and socially gunned down equally.

I'll be honest I don't give a damn what the NY Times says nor what goes on with Reddit.

It really is unfair that if you genuinely hated what she did you have it out for women in general. Disapproval of one person's actions makes you a mysogynist.

If Pao was a gay man, would you be a homophobe for not liking what she did?

I think Herman Cain is an idiot. Doesn't make me a racist. I think Sarah Palin is a dope. Doesn't make me a misogynist. I hate Chris Christie does that make me a card carrying member of fatpeoplehate?
