       @Jorsh to me the whole 'masculinity' and 'femininity' concepts are the same set of social expectations and thought framing that leads to toxic masculinity, misogyny, homophobia and other -phobias regarding gender, sex, and social interactions. My feeling is that they don't serve any positive purpose at all, and should be avoided, as they oversimplify (in a crippling way) the complexity and variety of human behavior and human personality.

       @tante   "It's not a mystery why folks who spend every waking hour inside a digital privilege bubble are not building with empathy or humility when nobody calls them to account."..."differences in the experiences of wealthy developers versus working-class users"I'm not sure the developers are to blame here (nor privilege-shamed): I'd bet 99% times they build what's requested, within the provided framework (platform), for customers it's not up to them to choose, with deadline constraints.Really, please go put the full blame on where it is due (probably capitalism?), not on the workers: given the possibility, I bet every programmer would love to build stuff that is enjoyed by users they care about, instead of selling their skills for the employer's revenue plan (but that's what they're paid for, managers included).

       @Jorsh @scottsantens almost all* rich people come from rich families: their survival was never depending on their work**, and despite this they seem all* pretty busy.Even the famous "self-made" ones (a laughably small percentage* crowned by selection bias), they long stopped to (depend on) work to survive, and still they all* boast working** a lot.So please tell me: why the lack of "need to work to survive" is NOT a problem for upper bourgeoisie and rich people, while it should be a problem for all the rest?*citation needed** for a suitable and questionable definition of "work"
