    Slight irony of taking the UID of a woman who dresses, acts and has the title of a man just so she can do the job a dude usually does.

    Troll dude: what bollocksz

    Boring on topic: diversity of background/experience/social status/education, etc. is good for an organisation in the round as it reduces group think and self confirmation. (like it is bad for many politicians to have gone to the same school, studied the same degrees and then had the same career path - no wonder there is hardly any innovation in policy).

    It can be difficult to translate that objective, and I am often sceptical about any concrete link to individual roles (ie at expense of a particular person). My work transparently says it wants it workforce to reflect society, so that its output can reflect society. That means targeted recruitment campaigns, going ti different campus. For individual jobs there really is hardly any impact as far as I can see. We get good people and we get shit people and we get people overpromoted of all sorts.

    God, just read it now. That was a gutpunch and a half.

    @Graxlar_v3 Not sure if serious, but there was nothing wrong with it - it was beautiful, and written by a female contributor

    Well I for one liked it a lot. Much better than the brainfart about spreadsheets and the Arab undead .

    The last intern was a woman as well, and she actually wrote some good articles before she (presumably) saw sense and jumped ship, or was (more probably) pushed overboard by SEXIST RACISTS.

    They didn't keep her on board, as she was improving the general standard of writing on EG too much.

    I did wince in the "feature" introducing the new intern where Wesley referred to the article as a "blog post". Even though this website is a shell of what it once was, it's still my primary source of gaming news, finding writers describing articles as blogs makes me feel like I'm reading nonsense posted on Livejournal, Myspace or whatever whippersnappers are using to sext each other nowadays.

    It's weird seeing the re-branded MrTom in the comments section.

    What happened to MrTom? I do see him in the comments now and then but I haven't seen him post on the forum in ages. Did he just get fed up of us and our forum shenanigans?

    His branes broke over getting funny feelings in his undies when watching women's wrestling.

    It's totally not objectifying women, just because.

    I think he had a bit of episode after trying to shape WWE as a beacon of feminism in his head.

    I think it was more he realised he couldn't get an echo chamber with his voice alone, so left us degenerates to laugh at him rubbing chubb over powerful feminist wrestlers in Bra and Panty matches.

    He ended up with an injury as his hand-wringing and masturbation to WWE Divas proved to be incompatible.

    THEY'RE NOT CALLED DIVAS ANYMORE IT'S DIFFERENT

    Nah, i think everyone here has pretty clearly shown why MrTom fucked off and left us for the comments.

    He forces men to dress as woman. Then he whispers "it's not your fault" gently in their ear as he strangles them. Or so I've heard.

    He strangles them in a Boston Crab before putting them in the million dollar dream.
