MJ Ray: Just because a man disagrees with your feminist women revering world view does not mean he is raising his objection just to blindly anger people.
Debian has two choices: continue promoting feminism and women's rights, chastising men who do not believe in these things, and all around make debian a welcoming place for (feminist minded) women and an unwelcoming place for men (men who have build all linux distributions mostly out of their own free time (as)), and continue to turn from the best linux distibution who had at it's center free software into yet another political party which wholly supports women's rights and spurns men's rights (the two are mutually exclusive if men and women are to get married) OR cut Debian women loose, welcome the men it has spurned back into the fold, and focus on free software rather then being a "progressive humanist bully pulpit" supporting women's rights and spouting feminist mantras. Those are the choices, you cannot drive men away and expect to survive as a distro. You CAN drive men away if you wish to become a feminist political party. -------------------------------------------- MJ Ray Wrote: Do you think it's fine to ignore good advice on dealing with disruptive behaviour just because the target is debian-women? Must you sink to the level of the attacker? I think it's better to show him how little support his views have, even among opponents of the current debian-women effort. When he tries to mislead or starts flaming, slap him back. I'm surprised we're three mails in and that From-line is still not banned for being invalid and a flame source. -- MJR/slef Laux nur mia opinio: vidu http://people.debian.org/~mjr/ Bv sekvu http://www.uk.debian.org/MailingLists/#codeofconduct __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
