Alpha males a...Steve, it is not Alpha Male culture. Alpha males are SEXY! and women forgive them anything. Heck, popular culture is filled with sexy, bad, domineering Alpha males that women happily surrender to thinking they can "change" them: Twilight, Fifty Shades of Grey, the Blacklist (the female lead's "secret hit man killer husband,"), Game of Thrones, Marvel's Agents of SHIELD (the younger male lead is now a "traitor" who the ingenue/audience proxy hopes to "change.")<br /><br />Heck the female audience (and female show runner) swooned over the rape scene in Buffy. And just could not get enough of the vampire!<br /><br />What women will NOT FORGIVE, ever, in men, is lack of sexiness. Not ever. Not once.<br /><br />What is going on here is the defenestration of White beta males. The model for Silicon Valley success was, a founder attracted both venture capital, not that much, because the less needed the bigger the founder payout, and also costs for Web ventures declined significantly post-Dot Com crash with overcapacity in servers, data centers, fiber cable, etc. Then attract a FEW insanely talented coders who would work insane hours to create something and cash out, leaving lots of money still for the founder.<br /><br />Now the founders WANT IT ALL. They figure H1-Bs and the like can be used much cheaper, no piece of the action, they get all the pie. <br /><br />The female jihad against White Beta Males (and the Github founder was beta, considering his wife was fighting with the woman in question over the woman's boyfriend, only a man whose wife has no attraction for him would see that behavior) is just a smokescreen for purging them and replacing them with ultra cheap H1Bs. That's it.<br /><br />Follow the money.<br /><br />Women are just pawns, but happy to be that way because they really do HATE HATE HATE White beta males. For being unsexy.<br /><br />Game might be the only salvation of the West. With CH/Roissy the only real prophet. And yes I'm serious. Believe me if the two women were fighting over the founder not the boyfriend, he never would have resigned. After all is Brad Pitt finished in Hollywood after he dumped Hollywood good-girl Jennifer Aniston for bad-girl Angelina Jolie?Whiskeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01854764809682029464noreply@blogger.com
