Recently I have been seeing a lot of misogynistic posts regarding CP and just programming in general. People are targeting women just because they have special programs in companies to improve women representation in software development industry. These people also claim that women cheat in CP contests and online assessments.

To those people, I want to ask you something,

Do you feel the same way when there is a seat reserved for the specially abled?

Do you feel the same way when you see people winning medals in paralympics?

People say stuff like "Oh okay, you need women representation, increase women representation in bricklaying or sanitation too, why just the cushy, modern, high-paying office jobs". Oh the misogyny! You only want females to take the low paying jobs that nobody likes to do, just to satisfy your male ego.

These people ask why are there 10x more male garbagemen than female garbagemen. XD Bozo, why do you think it's called garbage"men".

Stop complaining about these things. Let use end this misogyny!

Don't be stupid, it has nothing to do with misogyny. Imagine you worked hard (probably too much to ask, but just imagine) to get into a good company, and you outperform the majority of the human beings there, but still don't get selected because some other human being (who performed worse than you) is biologically different from you. That human being is no less than you (no disabilities), maybe even more privileged than you gets the job.
