then you are just pissing in the wind buddy.

do you get it?

either ask for help in implementing safeguards...
or offer viable realistic solutions which can be put into practice....
otherwise you are just screaming about a problem.
I'm all ears buddy, afaik knowing is 100% the battle, so screaming (informing) IS the solution. Take Tim Hunt fiasco for instance, major newspapers with respected journalists (guardian, times, bbc,nyt...) reported on it, took 6 weeks >1000 tweets by Louise Mensch (from The Sun goddamit, how easily dismissed is that based on preconceived notions that it is a rag) to finally get first apology from his accusers:

People don't have time to dig through, all you can do is inform, but feel free to offer solutions, if the thread did not seem like an invitation to a discussion, sorry, I'm all ears.
