      Rashmi Sinha Retweeted Paul Graham

      This is why I unfollowed Paul Graham. Specializes in underhand ways to make comments about women / minorities. (This tweet popped up since I others I follow referenced it).https://twitter.com/paulg/status/1165348114904911872 …

      Rashmi Sinha added,

      On our last flight, a woman asked me to get her luggage down from the overhead bin. I had a brief moment of panic. Did I read somewhere that this was now forbidden? Then I realized that if she was asking me to it must be ok.

      Criticizing extremes of political correctness is not the same as criticizing women and minorities, and it's pretty sloppy thinking to conflate the two like this. If you really want to make the world better, you're going to have to do better than this.

          Valid commentary given actual events in real life. Loud minority of women get off on lambasting men in public for acts of helpfulness.

          Right but this was a completely imaginary problem, if someone asks you to help, you help, if not, then you don’t need to. Simple. Why was any additional commentary even needed?

          Saying, “No thank you, I got it,” to the middle-aged white man on the airplane who offered—and began—to take my suitcase out of the overhead compartment for me was a quickly calculated act of resistance.

          I think you are conflating your ill-conceived tweet for valid criticism of political correctness.

          Simple. If she asked then she want it (==ok). If she didn’t she either want it or not, if she don’t - it is a crime indeed. A smaller crime than ones you have committed as a VC for which you’ll never confess
