#1 What business is it of her's who they hire?

#2 What if the men they hired were the most qualified for the position? Are people insinuating giantbomb should hire potentially less qualified people to appease feminists?

#3 Trigger warnings are for people with PTSD. Not people that are offended.

Victims of violent acts of transmisogyny and misogyny in general would appreciate content warnings for some the comments under the cut, yes. It's a good thing you are the authority on this to set the record straight, however, that they are only to be used for "people with PTSD" - which itself is about as far-reaching of a qualifier as possible considering what PTSD actually is - but I suspect you don't really care about that.

Agreed. People who use trigger warnings for nonsense like is an insult those who actually need them. I don't even know how this is newsworthy, after all 40% of unemployed workers are millennials.

I'm struggling to understand what that last part has to do with the article as a whol.

I'm sure you struggle with a lot of things.

Only when people use biased info in a misguided attempt to be critical, when in reality they're only making themselves look dumb! (as well as insensitive, which you recently claimed I was, haha!)

The link you posted doesn't say that. It says that 40% of the unemployed are millennials. So if you took 10 random unemployed people, 4 of them should be millennials. From the data given, we can't really determine what percentage of millennials are unemployed.

That said, you should take unemployment statistics with a grain of salt - Those who remain unemployed for too long have a tendency to fall off the official government statistics, making it impossible to work out what the actual unemployment figures are.

Cheers!

Good catch, I should reword that.
