Apple Rapid Hire-Fire: Antonio García Martínez
23rd May 2021
Ordinarily I find Gassée’s comments illuminating, and he does some of that here, but I was disappointed to learn that he has sipped the KoolAid of wokeness, in his apparent belief that uttering a negative opinion about some women somewhere means that one hates all women everywhere. I found Garcia Martinez’s comments about women in Silicon Vally harsh but by no means ‘misogynistic’; he just painted what he saw, and (from what I’ve seen with respect to Silicon Valley) I have no trouble believing that he saw what was actually there. In any event, his opinion is based on experience, not prejudice, and calling it ‘misogynist’ is a stretch too far. But go read his book.
