Thanks Broadsnark. Good to know it's not me just being completely
privilege blind :)

Check the collection of links I've saved here: http://sqworl.com/0wizk5

Mutualists believe in possessive ownership, but keep confusing
everyone by calling it "private property based on personal occupancy
and use".

You probably don't realize, but Francois is on the left.

Perhaps I should have made it more clear in my comments above, I still absolutely think that Japan is sexist and women are oppressed. The comment from Craig above did not change my mind on the matter but rather provided a better explanation on why sexism is so rampart there. Japanese women have internalized their oppression quite a lot.

In short, I do not accept Japanese society based on cultural relativism (which I reject wholeheartedly). I'll make a note on the blogpost above.

I understand that you take your ability to do all these seriously, but I'd afraid to say that if those engineers had the freedom to take those decisions themselves, they would probably do a better job.

Can you link me to the blog post you mention?

EDIT: Nevermind. Found it.

Well it would be difficult not to miss, since it was written _two days ago_ ;)

Btw, would you mind if I reposted this comment on the Division by Zer0 as a follow up to my post?

Cheers mate. Thanks for the thoughtful reply.
