I think that science plays an important role in understanding one another, from really basic things to really complex things, and you can never have too much science in any dialogue.

But let's not miss the forest for the trees. This is a problem with white men fucking things up and not facing social or legal consequences. This is about white men being upset any time an advantage is removed, or a wrong is righted. This is about white men fighting to limit women's access to healthcare as much as it's about white men making the internet a toxic place for women and minorities.

These aren't things that we're beyond, yet.

As I said before, hubski is very much an exception, but that means that we have to be very vigilant about these things, and raise our voices when the angry white men take a dump on our intellectual cohorts, whatever they happen to be, because being the exception means the odds are working against us. I'm not saying we need to demonize white men (I am one, so that would be a strange position,) but let's be honest about what's wrong with the internet; it's angry white men.
