WTF with the casual sexism&amp;#x2F;ageism?</text></item></parent_chain><comment><author>foob</author><text>Just to clarify, this was intended as a tongue-in-cheek critique of tech companies that actively project superficial images designed to appeal to specific hiring demographics. I&amp;#x27;m sorry if the meaning didn&amp;#x27;t come across as clearly as I had hoped for, but the statement was meant to be a condemnation of sexism and ageism rather than an endorsement.</text></comment>

After all the explicit sarcasm, emphasised by quoting &amp;#x27;cool&amp;#x27;, turns the tables on the &amp;#x27;twenty-something white males&amp;#x27;, and makes &amp;#x27;them&amp;#x27; (the majority) look the fool. Still, doesn&amp;#x27;t excuse sexist&amp;#x2F;ageist remarks, even if they are just pointing out industrial stereotypes.</text></comment>
