Jobs was and is slammed regularly for abandoning his first child and for his erratic behavior.

Gates has been ridiculed for his sexy pose desktop picture and classic nerd aura in terms of women. Marrying an employee didn't help.

Ellison? Never heard a single good thing about him here. Last time he bought that Hawaiian island and yeah, that did go well.

Male on male aggression/envy is simply normal here and filtered out in your memory. If it hits a female it suddenly becomes apparent.

I've always wondered the reason for this. If you ever see a bunch of males(boys, teenagers, adults, middle aged men, old folks) of any age. They will easily get aggressive with each other, crack jokes, tease each other fight, the older ones even drink and swear at each other. Yet none would feel bad about it.

You can't say they same think about women. You have to worry about every single word you say and do. Because you never know what is generally taken as offensive and what isn't.


You're painting incredibly broad strokes, there.
