Cool story. Now I will laugh at the OP, with your permission.

> It shows how from the first feminism was driven by ignorant indignation rather than reason

Way to editorialize, dude. It fucking shows nothing. At most, it shows the existance of a loony subset within any given set of people. Shocking indeed.

So, what's up next? Will Rob Pike's story, previously seen in HN, prove that the open source movement consists mostly of lunatic men that lack social skills and hygiene habits, who also behave in an incredibly moronic and unprofessional way? Because if your sample population were RMS, Ulrich Drepper and Eric Raymond, you'd get just that. And you'd piss many people off, of course.
