Re^5: How many man-hours would you estimate you have invested in learning Perl?

There is so much wrong with this I'll just refer you to Rock Paper Shotgun.

And I notice you're posting anonymously. You'll say it, but you won't claim it. Perhaps because you know you'd have to deal with it, hmm?

the sad thing is, that 7 people upvoted it. We're in the year 2013 and at least 7 users think it's ok to call the perl community a boy's club, and if women enter, they have to "expect" certain things. apart from that I find that post very insulting in its language. and nobody else seems to care, apart from 7 downvoters (edit: at least 12 now), which gives the post a reputation of zero, which is IMHO still too high for post like this. Your criticism was not insulting, my criticism was not insulting, but some anonymous monk can write such a post here and get a non-negative reputation. Seems a significant number of users here live still in stoneage and think, insulting is a legitimate instrument to make those annoying feminists just go away.	[reply]
