The Grace Hopper Celebration is meant to unite women in tech. This year droves of men came looking for jobs.

Lynching people based on their race is bad. I think we can all agree on that.

Once we make lynching illegal. Should there be a grace period, where people of the marginalized race are allowed to lynch people of the dominant race?

If lynching is bad, it should be bad for everybody, all the time.

I don't see why discrimination based on gender has a different criteria.

    This is the dumbest shit I've ever read and if you can't see the miles of difference between a women-only job fair and lynching black people I don't know what to tell you.

    An actual example would be segregation of schools by race. White students had the better schools and education. So when segregation became illegal, it would be like a period where black students organized their own resources for catching up, their own space and time, etc. Now imagine they had just enough books/teachers for engaging those students. And then white students showed up and began using the books, asking for their own tutoring from the teachers, etc - leaving less for the students who were at a disadvantage to begin with. Then the white kids start crying when they are told they aren't welcome in this space dedicated to leveling the field of knowledge.

    In summary: Jesus fucking christ a job fair is not like lynching, you fucking wacko.

    In your segregation example, would reverse segregation be acceptable?

    Asking white students to not take the resources that black students worked hard to provide for themselves after white students had the privilege of them all along? Yes. Yes it would be shitty of the white kids to show up and take those resources. Similar to how it's shitty of men to take the resources that women worked to provide to other women in an attempt at making the industry more equal.
