I think I have to take issue with this statement. I have met Eric and
interacted with him for a few days at a conference down this end of the
world, and while it's obvious that he enjoys the company of women, he is
by no means discriminatory in his behaviour.
If I had seen *any* evidence that he thinks women less capable of
hacking, or that he would treat women differently with respect to
technical issues, I would not be posting this.
It concerns me greatly that people are being deprived of the opportunity
to express their sexuality simply because that expression is considered
"discriminatory" or "sexist". It will be a sad day when a preference for
a certain type of sexual partner is considered grounds for calling
someone the sort of name quoted above.
