there's literally whole orgs dedicated to coddling women's egos and shit.
This is all performative. I don't understand why people continue to not listen when women time and time again say they do not feel safe or comfortable in tech, let alone the free software movement. I just had a talk with someone about this, and while I don't think Stallman is the root of the problem, he is just one example of how the movement is riddled with misogyny and out of touch white males. Because that's exactly what it is. I am already a minority within the minority of women in the field, who are primarily white or asian to begin with.
I would feel much more at ease if people just admitted that my experiences don't matter to them. The same way I've called out racism on here from leftists while their friends turn a blind eye to it.
