You're kidding yourself if you think you're a real feminist. Men will never defend you the way you defend them.

okay, let's set aside the fact that you're blatantly wrong; that i have friends and loved ones who are men. that men are among the people who, out in the real world, have stood up against homophobia in general and stood up for me in specific. that i have heard genuinely thoughtful and well-intentioned contributions to the greater cause of feminism from real men in my life.

let's pretend you're right. so what? am i supposed to grow resentful of them, and their privilege? am i supposed to try and get one up on them by shit-talking and abusing them to anyone who'll listen? am i supposed to pursue political change that somehow disempowers men?

like, what do you want me to do? what does your worldview actually do? except for harming marginalized men, disenfranchised men, men who experience racism and homophobia? alienating potential allies? if we buy into your childish worldview and believe that all men are evil, that men are inherently a category of people that aren't worth any work understanding or helping, that don't have a place in feminist frameworks of political and socioeconomic theory, then what's the point? should we kill em all? what's your solution, aside from trying to shut people like me down for having nuanced discussion of sexism and the effects it has on people of all genders?

on top of the fact that you're dead wrong that men would 'never defend me,' i see what's up with your reductive bullshit. it's an excuse not to try. if all men are shitty, then there's no reason to try and reach out to them politically, socially, in solidarity or intersectionality.

see, i work with men all day. among them are some pretty cool dudes, and some assholes. people who i would consider my friends, and political allies, and those that i've had to report to HR. because this shit? it's complicated. there are good men and there are assholes, and if you want to pretend that because of a few assholes men as an entire category don't merit nuanced discussion in feminist circles, then you're either an idiot or you're scared. probably both.

you can sit on your ass sending anon hate all you want, but intersectional feminism is out here actually achieving community building and solidarity. i know which worldview i'm putting my efforts into. i will always call out sexism, will always be critical of systems that do perpetuate misogyny and double-standards, networks of behavior and cultural biases that prop men up above people of other genders, but if you think many men aren't going to be a vital part of that discussion, then there's no point to any of this. and that's fucking stupid.

Where SlashGirl.EXE just exists to be a general denizen of the world, TokeiWoman.EXE has more of a narrative direction.

I doubt I would ever get around to doing something more complete with this idea, but this is the general gist of her arc, for the time being.

================================================

It’s any other day, and Lan and his buddies head out to do typical after-school kid things. However, along the way, they happen to pass by a HUGE demonstration at large corporate building. They learn from attendees that the company inside (Zenith Hyperprocessing) had installed a program/NetNavi to centralize a large portion of HR and finances across multiple subsidiary tech companies, which in turn lost them their jobs (or jobs of family members and/or NetNavis working Web-side) and they're protesting it, to the company's deaf ears.

This is seen as a mild annoyance by the general public at most, but word gets out that some of the displaced workers have banded together a fund where they'd pay a good amount to anyone who can break into Zenith's system to permanently delete that program and get them their jobs back... and several established 'villain' Operators feel this is a great way to make a quick buck at the expense of a large corporation.

However, Zenith’s position gives it the backing of the government, and they call any city NetBattlers to help defend it, citing the damage that losing the program would cause to the many other jobs/livelihoods of the people still working at the companies under its jurisdiction. So the city NetBattlers and their NetNavis form a sort of perimeter around Zenith’s central server, stopping some of the opportunists. However, a few of the 'evil' Navis get through the blockade.... only for their Operators to suddenly lose contact with their Navis completely.

After that incident, some time passes, when suddenly the 'program' starts to act... strangely, doing things that are not to it’s owner company's bottom line interests, which causes a bit of a ruckus. The authorities in control can't seem to get in to deal with it due to the digital defenses set up, but don't want to unplug or delete it completely right off the bat due to the potential dangers to the mainframe, and the costs that would incur, but they're worried that the NetNavis that went 'missing' weren't deleted, and somehow were corrupting the program from within the program's bubble of inaccessible influence.

So city NetBattlers are called in again to find the root of the problem, joined by official ones, and once within the strange anti-communication zone, MegaMan DOES manage to break defenses to find Tokei’s true body. He discovers that she had managed to freeze and capture any NetNavis that made it to her prior; they had no effect on her decision to start disobeying Zenith for the welfare of hard-working employees over the ‘lazy and ineffectual management.’ The company did that to themselves. She's 'fixing' their problems, as far as she's concerned. She at least agrees to free the NetNavis she trapped, provided they leave her alone and stop wasting her time.

MegaMan can’t find it in himself to delete her, not that he could in the state he found himself in, given he notices his energy being sapped at an astronomical rate, which prompts an explanation of the Overclocked domain, which also covers why he couldn’t communicate with Lan. Before he can leave to an area where he can safely Jack Out, ProtoMan arrives, with enough energy to fight, having not had to fight through all the defenses that had been defeated prior, and MegaMan has to prevent ProtoMan from deleting Tokei, allowing her to speak her piece.

With that resolved, MegaMan returns and simply reports his findings. It raises the question of the 'rights' of NetNavis. He returns from time to time - at great risk to himself, given the Overclocked server - to check on her out of sympathy, but she is always too busy to hold much of a conversation, sending him away. He insists she needs to take a break once in a while... even computers need to rest.

Finally there’s a breaking point, and MegaMan - instead of returning to a safe zone to resume contact with Lan and Jack Out - stays put, in an almost child-like tantrum. His ultimatum; she turn off the Overclock on the server and return to normal time and see how it feels to run at a normal, non-stressed speed... or she keeps it on at the cost of his own safety/life.

Unable to bring herself to hurt MegaMan, Tokei concedes with great effort and turns everything off... and while it does prove that it’s a huge weight lifted, it has the downside of suddenly bringing her activity back into observable time, putting both of them under immediate scrutiny. With Lan also able to weigh in, they argue until suddenly another party joins; Zandra Hertz, Zenith’s CEO.

To show the ‘children’ the error in their own thinking, Zandra uses Tokei’s unprotected state to violently tear the NetNavi’s consciousness out of the supercomputer housing (appearing, Web-side, as a large claw appearing and physically ripping Tokei out from her desk into the darkness), sticking it in an extremely outdated, dilapidated PET, to show both the NetNavi AND the employees she stood up for how much Zenith can’t afford to let her take time off for extended periods. Zandra’s last words to Tokei are, “Fine. Take a vacation. See what good that does you, and everyone else.”

With Tokei gone, the rest of Zenith and its subsidiaries start to feel the pressure of that work not being done. The chaos caused by this, and the ineptitude of the management who had become so painfully reliant on her for HR functions, means they can’t even hire or rehire workers to replace her quickly enough to prevent things from crashing and burning. When Zandra is contacted to take care of matters, it’s discovered she conveniently took a vacation to let everyone fend for themselves. Typical upper management behavior.

Tensions peak after a few days and Lan or someone else chooses to break in to steal the PET Tokei was consigned to and get her out, only to find that the poor condition of the PET and its lack of visual interfaces causes it to act like a sensory deprivation chamber (or worse, if damage to the PET such as electrical shorts or overheating components can actually affect the NetNavi inside). It’s so archaic that while MegaMan can enter the device via Jack In, they don’t know how to get Tokei out of it without first taking it to SciLab for analysis, and in the mean time, they can’t actually charge the device without damaging it further.

To make matters worse, the disappearance of Tokei and the PET she was on becomes an issue of company property theft. In the kids’ hands, nobody knew where the device had gone, but the moment they take the PET to SciLab to either be repaired or to have Tokei transferred into a new device, the lab gets implicated for it and come under legal scrutiny (it turns out Zandra had predicted it would happen and set it up intentionally, banking on the ‘reckless heroism of youth’ to forego critical thinking). She was hoping to use that criminal lawsuit against SciLab for stealing critically proprietary ‘software’ to pad her other earnings.

Fortunately for everyone, this starts to get the public riled up the more they learn about what was happening. A lot of people - even so-called ‘villain’ sorts - cite their own close connections to their NetNavis, as well as the existence of independent NetNavis, as proof that they are more than just feelingless tools for humans to use.

Eventually, public outcry causes Zandra’s plan to backfire, when hundreds of NetNavis from outside Zenith break into its mainframe to help the panicking employees rectify its problems temporarily, and Zandra is forced to step down for endangering the livelihoods of so many people... but not before trying to spitefully take down as much as she possibly can by firing up Tokei’s supercomputer and expanding the Overclock zone to encompass a large portion of the Cyberworld in hopes of melting down as much of the Web as she can in the process, by running malicious code into every connected device.

It’s revealed she never believed humans should have become so reliant on such fickle cyberspace beings in the first place; she lost her injured brother to a hospital mishap caused by the machines failing at the worst possible moment. Her whole plan from the start was to make as much money as she could exploiting the system before ultimately taking it out.

Since the Zenith server cannot be approached via the web without the Navis involved getting hit directly with the wave of Overdrive code, the situation has to be diffused by manually reinstalling Tokei into the supercomputer in person, which possesses its own difficulty as the Overclocked machine is physically overheating and threatening to explode and take the whole company building with it. Suffice to say, though, they succeed (because Lan has protag power).

Zandra is arrested and control of the company is handed over to temporary management, but eventually is given to Tokei herself. She was already doing so much work she practically ran the company upon initial installation, anyway. Since she has no need of money, she simply lets what she would have been making as CEO fall back into the company to promote a better workplace, and to hire employees to keep things running smoothly over the long-term; she’d crunch the numbers initially to get things back on track, and then slowly let the workload redistribute so she could take on a more humane level of management... and finally get a proper damn vacation without worrying about everything going to crap.

She also offers to do the kids’ families’ taxes for free on her off-time. As thanks. Compared to what she’d been doing prior, a handful of tax forms is just a few grains of sand in an hourglass to her.

Thinking about some headcanons of the differences between the Agency and Zoraxis

Sticking a linebreak in here because I have no impulse control and wrote like, 700 words

The Agency:

In my eyes, they are severely underfunded. Their facilities are practically ancient. You know how your school always has that one part that hasn't been refurbished in decades? Yeah, that's pretty much their entire base of operations, no matter which location you look at.

I'd like to imagine the sense of community is either really strong or really strained. If you're working in, say, HR, I feel like you'd have a really nice bond with your coworkers. However, on the other hand, there's the EOD. I feel that they, would have a tense atmosphere. I mean, if your coworkers were dying every other day, I wouldn't really want to get attached. Even still, there are always a few EOD agents that have grown close to each other and they never deal well with the loss of their coworkers.

The Agency, however, has a very good training programme for their prospective field agents. I envision it as something like past (surviving) field agents or handlers teaching the new recruits all their tips and tricks. (and how to disarm a bomb effectively)

Everyone has absolutely horrible pay. Sure, you might be in the EOD, risking your life on a daily basis, but you'd only just be able to afford a small apartment. The higher-ups consider it almost pointless: they'd just die anyway so why waste all that precious money?

I feel that all Handlers who are ex-field agents would be best friends. They'd all joke about their numerous near-death experiences on the daily. Sort of like the fond retellings we hear Phoenix's Handler talk about over the course of the games. I think they have a shared break room of sorts near their offices.

Zoraxis:

I'd think that they have top-notch facilities- state-of-the-art shit. (they are a very successful business, after all) I'm talking fancy architecture and everything. I feel like they'd be the kind of place where they have those Dyson hand dryers and very nice-smelling soap.

Unlike the Agency, I think the Zoraxis employees/operatives would be relatively nice to each other. Their relationships wouldn't be based on their departments cause I feel like being assigned to a life-threatening mission only happens once (they almost always due to lack of experience)

However, Zoraxis has terrible training programmes. They want to save money so they just stick their new recruits into a single building and hire the cheapest self-defence teachers they can put onto a salary.

Zoraxis employees have a pretty good paycheck, all things considered. They pay a decent amount over minimum wage so most people are able to live somewhat comfortably. I feel like one of the selling points of getting a job is their ability to provide accommodation if needed. They'd have enough money to buy a few apartment blocks for their new hires.

Similarities:

Okay, be so real, they'd both suck at doing background checks. The Agency because they can't really be picky for their field agents and Zoraxis because they don't give a shit. You could be a murderer and they'd just let you walk in with no trouble. Hell, you could probably fake your documents and no one would bat an eye.

The director and Zor rarely show their faces around the building. I feel like all the employees would spread the most out-there rumours about them.

They both have some employee of the month system. Zoraxis gives them out when they remember they have it. The lucky employee gets a little certificate and a small bonus on their next paycheck. At the Agency, Phoenix just has, like, so many. It's like, twenty picture frames in a row and yes, there is absolutely no variation in selected images, just the Agency-mandated ID photo everyone takes on their first day. They get nothing for it, just the gift of staring at their mug every time they are forced to wait for their Handler outside his office.

Introduction Every growing business faces the same challenge—how to manage people efficiently while staying compliant and reducing costs. The solution? A user-friendly HRMS software that takes care of payroll, hiring, attendance, and more, so you can focus on growth.

As we step into 2025, human resource management software for small businesses and large enterprises is getting smarter with advanced features like AI-driven analytics, cloud-based accessibility, and automation. Investing in the best HRMS payroll software can significantly impact business growth by reducing manual workload, improving decision-making, and enhancing employee experience.

In this blog, we’ll explore seven ways HRMS HR software can help your business grow in 2025 and beyond.

1. Speed Up Your Hiring Process

Hiring the right people quickly is crucial for business success. Traditional hiring methods can be slow and overwhelming, with HR teams juggling job postings, resume screening, interviews, and onboarding.

A human resource management system simplifies this by automating key hiring steps. It can:

Create job listings and post them across multiple platforms.

Use AI-powered resume screening to identify top candidates.

Track applicants and streamline interview scheduling.

Automate onboarding paperwork, saving HR valuable time.

Pairing your HRMS with an applicant tracking system (ATS) makes the hiring process even more efficient, providing insights into hiring bottlenecks and helping you select the best candidates.

2. Keep Your Best Employees Engaged

Hiring great employees is one thing—keeping them happy and motivated is another. Employees are more likely to stay when they feel valued, challenged, and supported in their professional growth.

A human resource management software for small businesses and enterprises alike can boost retention by offering:

Employee training & development programs to enhance skills

Career progression tracking to help employees set and achieve goals

Continuous feedback tools to improve communication between managers and employees

By investing in employee growth, businesses not only keep top performers engaged but also build a stronger, more skilled workforce.

3. Automate Payroll & HR Tasks to Save Time

Handling payroll, attendance, and benefits manually is not only time-consuming but also prone to costly errors. HRMS payroll software automates these tasks, allowing HR teams to focus on strategic initiatives instead of paperwork.

With HRMS automation, you can:

Process payroll efficiently, tracking salaries, taxes, and direct deposits.

Automate attendance & leave tracking, reducing manual work.

Simplify employee onboarding & offboarding, making transitions smooth.

Automation reduces human error, ensures compliance, and gives HR teams more time to focus on building a positive workplace culture.

4. Boost Employee Performance & Productivity

A motivated workforce is key to business success. An HRMS solution helps businesses track and improve employee performance with:

Goal setting – Employees can monitor progress in real-time.

Providing data-driven feedback – Managers get insights into employee strengths and areas for improvement.

Recognizing achievements – Automating rewards and performance incentives.

With HR software for human resource management, performance reviews become more meaningful and effective, making the process less stressful for employees and managers.

5. AI-Powered Recruitment & Talent Acquisition

Hiring the right talent is critical for business growth. Advanced HRMS software solutions integrate with Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) to:

Automatically screen resumes based on job requirements

Schedule interviews using AI chatbots for a faster process.

Reduce hiring time and improve candidate experience

With AI-powered recruitment, businesses can fill positions faster, reduce hiring costs, and attract top talent more efficiently.

6. Secure Employee Data & Stay Compliant

Employers must ensure the security of employee data and comply with ever-changing privacy laws, which can be challenging. HRMS solutions help by offering features that support compliance with regulations. With increasing concerns over data privacy, protecting employee information is a top priority. HRMS software solutions help businesses:

What is an Intelligent Virtual Assistant?

An Intelligent Virtual Assistant (IVA) is an AI-powered software application designed to understand and respond to human requests, perform tasks, and interact with users through natural language. IVAs are built to mimic human interaction, assist in a wide range of activities, and offer personalized solutions. Unlike simple voice recognition systems, IVAs leverage advanced technologies such as Natural Language Processing (NLP), Machine Learning (ML), and speech synthesis to understand context, learn over time, and provide users with more effective assistance.

Key Features of an Intelligent Virtual Assistant

Before diving into the creation process, it’s essential to understand the key features that make up an intelligent virtual assistant:

Natural Language Understanding (NLU): The ability of an IVA to comprehend and interpret human language. This includes parsing user queries, identifying intent, and extracting relevant information.

Conversational Abilities: IVAs are designed to engage in back-and-forth conversations, responding intelligently to users, managing multi-turn dialogues, and offering context-aware responses.

Task Automation: IVAs are capable of performing specific tasks like setting reminders, managing schedules, sending emails, or even controlling smart devices.

Personalization: Over time, intelligent assistants learn from user interactions to provide tailored recommendations, anticipate needs, and enhance user experiences.

Multimodal Communication: Many IVAs support not just voice commands but also visual input, making them capable of interacting through text, voice, and images. This feature is key for more complex user interactions.

How to Build an Intelligent Virtual Assistant

Now that we’ve covered the basics, let’s explore how to build an intelligent virtual assistant from scratch. While creating an IVA can be a complex task, breaking it down into manageable steps will make the process much easier.

Step 1: Define the Purpose and Scope

The first step in building an intelligent virtual assistant is determining its purpose and the scope of tasks it will handle. Think about the industry or use case where the assistant will be used. Virtual assistants can serve many purposes, such as:

Personal Virtual Assistants – For tasks like setting reminders, controlling IoT devices, or offering news updates.

Customer Service Assistants – For handling customer inquiries, processing transactions, and offering support in e-commerce, banking, or healthcare.

Enterprise Assistants – For streamlining internal workflows, managing schedules, and automating HR or IT tasks.

Entertainment Assistants – For controlling smart home devices, recommending movies, or playing music.

Defining the assistant's role helps set clear boundaries for what it needs to do and guides your decision-making throughout the development process.

Step 2: Choose the Right Tools and Frameworks

To build a sophisticated and efficient virtual assistant, developers need to leverage a variety of tools, frameworks, and platforms. These tools help with everything from natural language processing (NLP) to speech recognition and user interface design.

Natural Language Processing (NLP) Frameworks:

Hugging Face Transformers: A popular library for building conversational AI using state-of-the-art NLP models like GPT-3, BERT, and T5.

spaCy: Another powerful NLP library known for its fast performance and robust features like entity recognition and dependency parsing.

Dialogflow: Google’s NLP platform for building conversational interfaces that integrates easily with other Google Cloud tools.

Rasa: An open-source framework specifically designed for building conversational AI and chatbots. It supports complex dialogue management and custom integrations.

Speech Recognition and Synthesis:

Google Cloud Speech-to-Text: Converts spoken language into text, enabling voice interaction with virtual assistants.

Amazon Polly: Converts text to speech, giving your virtual assistant the ability to speak in a natural, human-like voice.

DeepSpeech: An open-source speech recognition system based on deep learning techniques, offering high accuracy in transcribing audio into text.

Machine Learning Libraries:

TensorFlow: A powerful open-source library from Google that helps developers create deep learning models for complex tasks, such as understanding user intent or recognizing objects in images.

PyTorch: A popular machine learning framework that allows for flexible research and rapid prototyping of deep learning models for AI agents.

Backend Platforms:

Microsoft Bot Framework: A comprehensive framework for building conversational AI that integrates with multiple channels like Skype, Slack, and Facebook Messenger.

Amazon Lex: A service for building conversational agents, powered by the same technology behind Alexa. It supports text and voice input and provides built-in natural language understanding.

Step 3: Develop Core Functionalities

Once the tools are chosen, the next step is to develop the core functionalities of your intelligent virtual assistant. This involves setting up the NLP pipeline, building task automation systems, and integrating third-party services. Here’s a breakdown of key components:

Intent Recognition: Use machine learning models or pre-built libraries like Rasa or Dialogflow to detect what the user wants based on their input. For example, if a user asks “What’s the weather like today?” the system should recognize the intent as “weather inquiry.”

Entity Extraction: After understanding the intent, extract specific details (entities) that help the assistant fulfill the task. For example, “Book a flight from New York to London” involves extracting entities like “New York” (departure city) and “London” (destination city).

Dialogue Management: Implement a dialogue management system to handle complex conversations. This system determines how the assistant should respond to various inputs, ensuring that the conversation flows logically and naturally.

Task Automation and API Integration: Integrate APIs for the assistant to automate tasks like sending emails, scheduling appointments, checking bank balances, or controlling smart devices. Tools like Zapier or Integromat can help you easily connect your IVA with other applications and services.

Step 4: Focus on User Experience (UX)

One of the most critical elements of an intelligent virtual assistant is user experience (UX). To ensure a seamless and efficient experience, focus on the following:

Personalization: Use machine learning to track user preferences and adjust the assistant’s behavior accordingly. For instance, if the user frequently asks for traffic updates in the morning, your assistant should proactively offer that information.

Multi-Turn Conversations: Allow the assistant to handle complex, multi-turn conversations. For example, after booking a flight, the assistant might ask if the user needs hotel recommendations.

Error Handling: Develop strategies for when the assistant doesn’t understand the user. For example, a fallback message such as “Sorry, I didn’t catch that. Could you please rephrase?” helps maintain the flow of the conversation.

User Interface (UI): If your IVA has a visual component, ensure the interface is intuitive and easy to navigate. Tools like Adobe XD, Figma, or Sketch can be used to design the UI for mobile or web applications.

Step 5: Test and Optimize

Before launching your virtual assistant, rigorous testing is essential. This includes both functional testing (to ensure the assistant performs tasks as expected) and user testing (to identify usability issues). It’s also crucial to continuously optimize your virtual assistant after launch by monitoring its performance, gathering user feedback, and updating the system with new capabilities.

Step 6: Deployment and Maintenance

Once your intelligent virtual assistant is ready, it’s time to deploy it. You can deploy the assistant on multiple platforms, such as websites, mobile apps, or voice-activated devices like Alexa or Google Home. Regular maintenance is crucial to keep the assistant updated with the latest features, security patches, and bug fixes.

Conclusion

Creating an intelligent virtual assistant is a challenging yet rewarding endeavor. With the right set of tools, a clear purpose, and a focus on personalization and user experience, you can build a highly effective and engaging virtual assistant. In 2024, the possibilities for AI agents are virtually endless. Whether you’re building a simple personal assistant or a complex enterprise solution, mastering the art of AI agent development will open up new opportunities for transforming user interactions and enhancing productivity across a wide range of industries.

By understanding the technology behind IVAs, using the best tools, and following best practices for design and implementation, you can create an intelligent virtual assistant that makes a real impact.
