Re: Article on Debian Women@axionet.com
If anyone has any doubts that groups like Debian Women are needed, just
have a look at some of the comments on the article.
I admit that, although I had a pretty good idea of the ignorance and the
tired old ideas with which people try to refute feminism, when I started
writing, I was under the impression that they were in retreat.
Apparently, I was naive. Some of the comments on Newsforge and elsewhere
could be from the early Seventies, when the second wave of feminism was
just getting underway.
I am now seriously considering an article on sexism in the open source
and free software movements. There seems to be enough horror stories for
twenty articles.
