Men in Technology vs women not in technology

Just like any other human being i like a good humor and laugh . There is no limitations for joke in the internet, one day i spend more than hour or two scrolling through google image on Thor meme and they were hilarious. No matter which social networking site you use frequently, i'm sure you are following one or more trolling pages or groups. I myself follow loads of those accounts in Facebook and twitter. Some of the jokes posted on those accounts really makes me LOL. 

Since i'm am an IT student i happen to follow trolling accounts related to IT, programming and others. And the ammo for those pages are that  women are stupid when it comes to technology and also in general. And most of the jokes are about girl not understanding basic things about computer. As an IT student trust me i have seen many guys who can't even write an algorithm for anything and you, the admin behind trolling pages are saying that all the girls will call snake to the Python program? And it really upsets me because it is not true for all girls. I know very few girls are into IT but still you can't make fun of those girls who don't share same enthusiasm in technology as you. Not only they make jokes about girls not understanding technology but also give back hand complement if they do. In one of the trolling page i once saw a "joke" saying "Marry that girl who can download a movie from Torrent". And if i try to comment them saying please don't write these kind sexist "joke" they won't even acknowledge those comments.

When you proudly say that i know this programming language, i know that language that you probably learnt on YouTube do you really know that YouTube is run by Susan Wojcicki the current female CEO of the YouTube. When you post those women insulting jokes on Facebook, do you really know that COO(Chief Operating Officer) of Facebook is Sheryl Sandberg who is also a female.

From the start of civilization, women are never treated equal as men neither they are provided with same opportunities. So before insulting a woman think that, we were never given the same treatment and opportunities and whatever we, women have achieved till this date it just started century or two ago. If we can achieve all these achievement with in century or two think what could we have achieved by now if we were treated the same.


I raise up my voice—not so I can shout, but so that those without a voice can be heard...we cannot succeed when half of us are held back. 
―Malala Yousafzai
And yet if you still think that it is okay to joke about more than half of the population of human race then you are a hopeless douchebag.

Direct Message in Twitter

me: Wanna write a long  Direct Message to my follower in twitter
Twitter: Hell no! 140 characters only!!!
But from August 12th, 2015 twitter has removed the 140-character limit from Direct Messages. Sachin Agarwal , the Product Manager of Twitter, wrote that' "  You can now chat on (and on) in a single Direct Message, and likely still have some characters left over" on his blog.
This change is being be rolling on Android and IOS apps on twitter.com, twitterdeck and twitter for Mac. the limitation of 140-character is still on for Tweets and sending and receiving Direct Message via SMS.
