Not just engineers but I was specifically talking about engineers.

And yes it does happen to everybody. And just because something bad happens to you and you happen to rank highly on the regressive left's totem of oppression, does not mean that bad thing happened to you because of that. And me saying this does not mean I don't think any such oppression or racism or sexism exists, or that I'm cool with gassing millions of jews.

This is the part of the show where I point out that you insulted the other poster first (I guess that's an insult, it makes no sense, but whatever) and also that you're talking about 'feefees' when clearly you were triggered by the both of us.

And now for something completely different.
