Dialogue: 0,0:00:07.53,0:00:12.45,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I'm so sick of porn with my file sharing! What the hell BitTorrent tracker sites?
Dialogue: 0,0:00:12.45,0:00:16.38,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,BitTorrent is a file sharing protocol used to distribute large files.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:16.38,0:00:19.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So instead of sending the file from one computer to the other which is known as
Dialogue: 0,0:00:19.62,0:00:22.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,peer to peer. What's happening is that everyone whose downloading the file is
Dialogue: 0,0:00:22.76,0:00:28.21,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,sharing with everyone else. So we're all taking little bits of information and that will
Dialogue: 0,0:00:28.21,0:00:33.16,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,eventually be compiled into a full file on our computers. It's a really efficient,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:33.16,0:00:37.47,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,decentralized way of downloading files. It's actually really ingenius.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:37.47,0:00:42.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But as with most geeky technology, BitTorent tracking sites fill their ad space with
Dialogue: 0,0:00:42.58,0:00:45.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,ads directed at young men, not at people who look like me.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:45.82,0:00:50.47,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,One way that I can tell is because the ads are either "How to get ripped in 4 weeks!"
Dialogue: 0,0:00:50.47,0:00:54.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,or porn directed specifically at heterosexual young males.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:54.82,0:00:59.43,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The images are women being debased and dehumanized to sell advertising for sex sites
Dialogue: 0,0:00:59.43,0:01:04.34,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,or online dating sites. Some are straight up pornography and others are just using
Dialogue: 0,0:01:04.34,0:01:07.49,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,pornographic images to entice young men to visit their sites.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:07.49,0:01:12.03,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,For example the Evony MMO used ads like this which clearly is using women's bodies
Dialogue: 0,0:01:12.03,0:01:17.05,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to attacted boys to come play their game except I think their game was like a strategy
Dialogue: 0,0:01:17.05,0:01:21.11,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,MMO, like it had nothing to do with the women in the advertisements.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:21.11,0:01:25.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And then these ads are clearly for porn except they are trying to pretend like it's the
Dialogue: 0,0:01:25.94,0:01:28.16,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,"classiest collection of nude art"
Dialogue: 0,0:01:28.16,0:01:32.100,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,All of these ads are just using women's bodies to appeal to geeks and gamers.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:33.23,0:01:34.87,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,People that look like this.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:36.87,0:01:40.85,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I just want to file share without being bombarded by naked women and offers to
Dialogue: 0,0:01:40.85,0:01:43.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,meet ladies in my neighbourhood.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:43.12,0:01:46.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I also don't want to download a virtual stripper who takes her clothes off
Dialogue: 0,0:01:46.60,0:01:50.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,on my desktop. And frankly I'm horrified at the thought of someone turning their
Dialogue: 0,0:01:50.10,0:01:54.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,computer on and having their own virtual stripper do a little dance for them
Dialogue: 0,0:01:54.12,0:01:58.87,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,everyday. That falls under the fembot category and y'all know how I feel about that.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:58.87,0:02:03.17,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,There are plenty of techno-geeks who are women so why do these sites insist on
Dialogue: 0,0:02:03.17,0:02:07.49,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,advertising only to men? That was a rhetorical question. I actually know the
Dialogue: 0,0:02:07.49,0:02:11.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,answer to that. Women are systematically left out of techno-geek culture.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:11.33,0:02:16.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's a boys club that's reinforced socially and culturally. It creates a space that is so
Dialogue: 0,0:02:16.04,0:02:19.39,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,undesirable for women to be in that they don't want to or they aren't give the
Dialogue: 0,0:02:19.39,0:02:21.03,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,opportunity to participate.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:21.03,0:02:25.77,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Just look at the fact that less than 3% of open source programmers are women.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:25.77,0:02:29.69,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Or how about the fact that only 13% of wikipedia contributors are women?
Dialogue: 0,0:02:29.69,0:02:33.66,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's not that women aren't interested in technology, it's that there are very real
Dialogue: 0,0:02:33.66,0:02:38.51,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,barriers for women to get involved and engage. Having ads on the BitTorrent
Dialogue: 0,0:02:38.51,0:02:43.05,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,tracking sites targeted at a very specific demographic of young hetero sexual males
Dialogue: 0,0:02:43.05,0:02:48.03,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,alienates and discourages women from participating. And these ads are only a teeny
Dialogue: 0,0:02:48.03,0:02:51.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,tiny little fraction of the intentional and unintentional barriers keeping women out of
Dialogue: 0,0:02:51.94,0:02:53.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the boys club.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:53.18,0:02:57.69,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I like technology and coding and science fiction and open source software and
Dialogue: 0,0:03:02.77,0:03:05.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And I'm also told that the only place for women in this subculture is to be the
Dialogue: 0,0:03:05.84,0:03:09.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,"hot chick" or maybe the booth babe at a convention.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:09.46,0:03:13.77,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We want to be full participants in geek culture and the only way that's going to
Dialogue: 0,0:03:13.77,0:03:17.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,happen is if we dismantle the boys club and tear those barriers down.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:17.98,0:03:20.51,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Computer Love Computer Love
