Tackling Open Source's Gender Issues
angry tapir writes "Women's participation in open source development is at a far lower level than women's participation in proprietary software development. One of the groups that aims to change this is the Ada Initiative: A non-profit organization formed last year. I recently caught up with its two founders, Linux kernel developer Valerie Aurora and comp sci PhD student Mary Gardiner, to discuss the project."
If you think calling my ex-wives gold diggers is sexist, it's because you've clearly never met them.
SJW: Someone who has run out of real oppression, and has to fake it.
Ok so you were going for the oh so funny 'all women are gold diggers' stereotype.
I'm not sure where you go to meet women, but you're definitely doing it wrong. My first girlfriend, although highly motivated by money, wanted to make her own. That is to say she was career oriented. My fiance is an academic/bibliophile type, and is one of the least materialistic people I know. It's a very attractive quality.
Can we lay off the stereotypes? And if your post reflects your actual life experience then I feel sorry for you.
It's not that you called two of them gold diggers that's sexist. It's that you said that there's no such thing as a woman who *isn't* a gold digger.
Can you spot the difference?
Chances are he is the type of person who never will get the difference.
Try offering your women something other than money. Maybe culture, personality, ... . You'll attract a different, better type of woman.
