I'm so angry right now... People should NOT be bullied because of what they wear...

I feel the solution is quite simple.  Next time Dr Taylor is going all casual he should wear one of these and everyone will be happy.

FWIW, I like the shirt. I like the colour palette and density of the artwork. But then again, I have no class at all 8-)

FWIW, I like the shirt too. But I wouldn't wear it to work.

I would. But then I work at a tech company where we all slouch, tell bad jokes, drink booze most nights, and have fun with our jobs as much as we can.

Why does that not surprise me?

mmmm well because I've made it known many many many many times on this forum. I make no secret about who I am, what I do, what I love, and who I disagree with.

Y'know... human and all that.

PS: There were women included in my grouping. But I'm willing to bet a white knight mangina such as yourself didn't even think that could be possible.

Via selective Fretboard translators -

"I would. But then I work at a tech company (which naturally only employs men as women are shit at techy stuff) where we all have a female secretary who is crap at her job but has great tits and makes a cracking cuppa.  We tell bad jokes - all heavily degrading to women, drink booze most nights and sexually harass any lady in our vicinity,  have fun with our jobs as much as we can, then go home on our own, eat a microwave lasagne and objectify women in exploitative, violent and degrading porn."

I didn't create the echo chamber. So what's your point?

I had a pin-up transfer on my Tele once, it was sexy.

I remember that.  Although a some found it a bit sexist I though it was cool.

Personally would have run with the headline 'Vati-CANS invasion' - missed opportunity there

This is my @randomhandclaps appreciation post.

I'm disappointed they weren't sciencing in lab coats. How are you supposed to tell who is clever if they wear civvies?

What a world we live in. George Orwell was right. 

That nails it @Bucket.

FWIW @Drew_fx - I'm right with you on this. And while sometimes threads here can get a bit crass, I'd rather have that than the constant "right on" attitudes displayed by some other forumites.

@Chuffola by 'other forumites' I'm choosing to make the massive supposition that you are referring to woman forumites, thus proving that you are in fact a massive misogynist and automatically devaluing any argument you choose to make.  As I learned from reading 'How To Be A Male Feminist, Look Cool And Hopefully One Day Have Success With The Other Sex' women like nothing more than when men make assumptions about what must offend them (as clearly as a species they are all exactly the same, with the same sense of humour, sexual proclivities, values and beliefs) I therefore have no option but to challenge you to a duel at dawn tomorrow, sir.

Chuffola

Rumbled!

Pistols or swords, sir?

Oh, hang on. Swords are phallic. As are pistols.

Pillow fight wearing mankinis it is, then.

Wait, am I doing this wrong?

randomhandclaps

The most bizarre element of the 'offended' speaking as the voice of all female kind is I would happily bet that on first viewing a far greater percentage of woman actually went "OMG that shirt is pretty tragic." at Dr Taylor's poor fashion sense.

If my female friends are anything to go by, they actually didn't get past "OMG! Beard, tattoos and he's smart...is he married?".

Thing to remember is he is far from the first great scientist to drop a bollock and history always edits out the crass bits.

I never said our opinions were invalid, I said the thread was.  Our opinion, as men, is as equally important as that of women.  My point was that we do not have a balanced debate here without any representatives of the other 50% of people on the planet.

It's no different from having a debate about racism in a room full of white people or a discussion on immigration at a UKIP conference, or, a government made up entirely of women discussing men's rights.  Yes, their opinions would still be valid, but from a viewpoint of arriving at a consensus, it's pointless.

FWIW, I don't find his shirt offensive.  I think there are far greater barriers to women entering technical careers (if they want to) than the pattern on a fucking shirt.  Still....  some people just like getting angry over trivia rather than make any real effort to tackle inequality.  It's easier to rant online than to actually do anything.

What are the greater barriers to women entering technical careers, just out of interest?
