What Hacker News says?
I find it easiest to illustrate the problem to other men by simply asking them to substitute 'man' for 'woman'. There's a great Chrome extension 'Jailbreak the Patriarchy' that does that to web pages. http://www.daniellesucher.com/2011/11/jailbreak-the-patriarc... It's a fascination brain hack to "see how the other half lives". If you're a programmer interested in this whole field of gender/sexism, it's very eye-ope…
