See my sibling comment. If there's so much examples of things going tilted against men in most western countries, shouldn't you say there's at least some common thread across them all, an indicative cause to all these (different) symptoms.
Aren't those generalities true though? Remember when those female talk show hosts laughed on live TV about a dudes' dick getting cut off by his partner?
Or what about the ESA engineer that helped landing on a comet and all the media could talk about is that he wore a shirt with stylized naked ladies on them. Imagine giving a women researching cancer shit because she wore a shirt with 'If a man ain't got muscle I ain't gonna tussle' in a interview. And you give her shit profusely, for a week, until she is depressed and feels the need to apologize on TV, for wearing a shirt.
Bonus points (although not entirely related): women like Anita Sarkeesian that say games (still predominantly a male pasttime if you discount mobile/casual games) like Mortal Kombat promote violence agains women.. no shit, it's a fighting game, where the core gameplay revolves around beating people up.
Glad I mentioned casual game since there's plenty of dating games where the goal for the girl is to date the most successful and popular men.
Or what about Disney movies.. The princesses are seen as portraying impossible beauty and standards, whereas you hear nothing about the men in these movies (jaw like an anvil, super muscular, usually smart and rich).
Combine that with the fact that these days there's still campaigns to get more women to university (university is 40/60 men/women these days), there are special women only grants.
Also, Obama touted the 33% wage gap myth and the 1 in 5 rape/sexual assault statistic that are both completely botched.
See what I'm getting at? Society in the West, and especially America, is crazy tilted towards women, and it needs to stop.
Edit: the parent comment went from +7 to -1 in the span of a few minutes. Seems my preemption about downvote brigading by SJWs/white knights wasn't so silly after all, hmm?
The problem is that when a 45yr old man dates a 25yr old girl all the women rabble and call him a pig, but when a woman will only date a man who 'can provide' its 'only natural'. You see the same issue crop up in tons of things. They tried to ban 'lad mags' in the U.K, but there was no talk of banning so-called kitchen romances (the shitty paperback stuff middle-adged moms love to buy in the supermarket). Iceland tried to ban strip clubs. Or imagine the backlash if there was a 'Magic Melissa' counterpart released to Magic Mike. I can already practically hear the feminist outrage..
Women of the West have succeeded in perpetually shaming men for enjoying life its vices, whilst simultaneously enjoying (and pretty much demanding to be celebrated for it) their own equivalent vices. Pretty disgusting when you take a objective look at it
Probably gonna be downvoted to hell by virtue signallers too.. I'd rather have a decent dialogue but oh well, can't win 'me all.
It won't change because of tremendous legacy inertia. Everything from assembly to scripting languages are in Latin-English. All kernels are Latin-English. CS is taught around the globe as a 100% English major usually. Our first humanoid AI will almost certainly think in 'English' and speak English.
They will sign up voluntarily for a military that is decently funded (having to shout 'pew pew' in training because your training rounds have ran out is ridiculous.. and yes this is real). Plus a wage that would be semi-competitive with the civilian sector.
We've been largely winning against the sea since 1500, and that's with windmills and wheelbarrels of mud. Look up the Afsluitdijk. Or the Deltawerken. Our combined 'water defense works' are considered one of the modern wonders of the world. The Dutch will never surrender to the sea. Even if the rest of the globe will experience some catastrophic flood, the Dutch will figure out how to stave it off.
Yeah, the common sentiment is 'the best time to take action was 40 years ago. The absolute limit was 20 years ago. There's no stopping it now, even if we reduce our emissions to zero. The latent emissions in the atmosphere will already bone us. I'm glad I live in the Netherlands. We're a very rich country, and we have been battling water for more than a thousand years as a people. Places like Bangladesh will be completely destroyed..
Those 'after me the deluge (French saying)' people are the worst. Same as rich people fucking up the globe but massively buying 'escape hatches' in New Zealand. If you're that kind of person, you should be burned at the stake.
Sorry but that's just blatant lying. Apple takes great care of optimizing its OS and apps for its hardware, to the point where it's possible to use Final Cut Pro on the anemic MacBook 12 somewhat comfortably(!)
So does Linux. Before I had a MacBook I tried Ubuntu on my PC twice (this is back in 2007 and another time in 2011) and both times an upgrade made Ubuntu unbootable(!). These days its nicer, but the 'Linux is more stable' myth is only true if you stick to servers/CLI. Desktop its Mac > Windows > Linux and on laptops its Mac >> Windows >>>>>>>>>>> Linux
As for the reasons..
Devs want a POSIX (macOS, Linux or BSD) system because many of the utilities used are written for that, and much of the infrastructure you will be working with in the future will also be POSIX. Of all the POSIXes, macOS is by far the most capable and stable laptop OS. Macbooks are still unrivaled, with only the Dell XPS range coming somewhat close.
They are also the only company with both a solid phone and computer product, meaning you get lots of ecosystem goodies (verify iCloud logins with a push notification on your iPhone, Wi-Fi passwords entered on your MacBook instantly work on your phone, 'instant hotspot', AirPods intelligent multi-pairing, etc)
And that may seem like I'm drinking the Apple kool-aid, but I'm not. The audio quality on the AirPods is terrible. In fact, Apple has never produced anything but mediocre audio gear. The $200 price bump on the MBP 2016 is unjustified. Removing the headphone jack on the iPhone is utterly insane, even if they did use USB-C (maybe in 10 years when all audio-out ports on everything everywhere also uses USB-C it would have made sense). macOS stripping out all GPL tools because they don't want to use GPLv3 stuff, etc. etc. etc.
Or just use an iPhone. The amount of marketshare Apple would lose if there was even a hint of a US-intelligence backdoor in their systems keeps them with a very, very vested interest to actively fight that.
For Apple it won't matter since apps are heavily sandboxed and can only pass eachother data through predefined APIs. Jailbroken phones are another can of worms though, since you're literally leaving open an exploit to run unsigned code.
that's a 10yr old bash and there's barely any shell magic that you can do on Linux that won't work on macOS. And since by far most devs use macOS, most binaries support at least the macOS version of bash. All in all, no need to worry :p
But I didn't name a single experience or anecdote. These are all googleable facts..
