Indeed. IMO the most depressing thing about this entire exchange (with
the possible exception of the amount of top-posting) is the offhand
way in which movements for free software have been assumed by (many)
people on both sides to be a boys club, and a particularly
misogynistic one at that. Flame me if you want but I'm not sure I can
realistically consider someone born in the 20th century with 18th
century sexual politics much of an authority on ethics, whether
applied to software or anything else.
