Story: Berners-Lee challenges 'stupid' male geek culture

The technical culture has been very discriminatory!

There's been a lot of sexual discrimination in the technical workplace in the last 30 years - virtually all of it against men in favor of women. I worked 20 years in a technical industry that heavily discriminated against men in hiring, promotions and perks. This was not a few cases, it was an avowed policy.

On campus, I went out of my way as a TA and professor to discriminate in FAVOR of women, as did most of my collegues.

And yet, strangely enough, women continue to be underrepresented in the technical workplace. Hence there will be another round of beatings and male bashing until the desired result is attained.

The only thing proved by Mr. Berners-Lee in swallowing the latest multicultural party line is that he is indeed a member of the "stupid" male geek culture.
