The GNOME Foundation Is Running Out of Money

An anonymous reader writes "The GNOME Foundation is running out of money. The foundation no longer has any cash reserves so they have voted to freeze non-essential funding for running the foundation. They are also hunting down sponsors and unpaid invoices to regain some delayed revenue. Those wishing to support the GNOME Foundation can become a friend of GNOME."

    "As women, we have a right to exist too!"

    Thanks for defining "right" as "entitlement to squander other peoples project resources on your specifically political agenda".

    I completely support sexual freedom, up to and including fucking in the streets, but Karen Sandler burning scarce resources on a non-core project was
    frivolous.

    If you support bankrupting GNOME to loot it for outreach programs then own up to that stance, otherwise piss off.

    In Putin's Russia she'd be killed. When you steal someone's money you steal their time. This woman stole alot of men's time. Russia is a better place. Perhaps they'll have some mercy on us.

    You do know feminists have their own lexicon? "Sexism" by their usage isn't actually sexism. Like how "male privilege" doesn't require a male to have any privileges. I'm serious. Check with the "gender studies" department. They'll explain exactly this.

    Not really. In the UK for example, 73% of tax money comes from men - only 25% is spent on them.

    You can pretty much trace the entire debt mountain to the insane amount of money spent on women. They contribute far less than then take.

    This would be fine... but women still claim to be somehow disadvantaged... despite their huge privilege and every law in the last 30 year favouring them massively.
