.@wycats Because it allows people to focus on problems caused by other people (teachers, parents, culture, TV) instead of their own actions.

@wycats acid test: does the person using it see themselves as part of "the pipeline"? If not, likely deflecting. -
@notmatt Can you expand on that? -
@wycats then I am deflecting. It doesn't even matter whether the "real problem" I pick is real or not; it only need not be *my* problem. -
@notmatt Most of the time I've heard people talk about "pipeline" it's as part of a bunch of changes, including ones they make personally.

@wycats paraphrasing a tweet I'm too lazy to look up now: When you say "it's a pipeline problem" I hear "I don't understand back pressure." -
@wycats that is, our pipeline problem is in large part CAUSED BY systemic oppression problems. So, deflection towards symptoms from causes. -
@izs what do you think of Black Girls Code and Girl Develop It? Solving the wrong problem? -
@wycats nah. Solving part of the problem. A good part to solve. Just not the whole thing. -
@wycats my antipipeline is directed at people like thiel who seem to think that all sexism would evaporate if girls just started companies
