Check out the spectacular gamma male fail occurring on Twitter at the moment. It is literally right out of Roissy's textbook. A woman took offense at this comment on a post contemplating the observable failure of women with computer science degrees to stick with programming jobs:

I think too many of these girls who get drafted in under the "MOAR GIRLS!" banner never see real work, then bail when they encounter it. Who will be at a technical conference debating the fine points of something technical, or the fine points of a pun, and who will be taking selfies in a mirror with a sign like "I am doing programming!"?

A White Knight, detecting the opportunity to attempt to curry favor, promptly leaped into action and encouraged his fellow Knights of the Supplicating Table to fight this terrible FeelBad by taking selfies. Sadly, despite his bold efforts on behalf of her and all programming womakind, this did not result in his first date with an actual woman.

It's like a pictorial anti-shopping list for women. "Hey, ladies, I'm not only a hapless dork, but I'll put you on a pedestal in a heartbeat too!"
