Posted by timothy on from the cultural-learnings dept.

An anonymous reader writes: Today the Ada Initiative announced that the nonprofit will shut down in mid-October. Founded in 2011, the Ada Initiative is a nonprofit feminist organization created to help improve open source culture and build a more inviting, productive, safe environment for women. In this interview with Opensource.com, the co-founders look back at the organization's successes, and the work that still needs to be done.

    Wow. Just wow.

    You are saying that calling for a workplace free from harassment and threats is actually itself harassment of men. Because men must be free to harass...

    I'm a man and I don't need to validate myself by harassing people, and I don't feel harassed or oppressed when people suggest I shouldn't abuse women. If you do, then there is something seriously wrong with you.

    The MRAs are really screwing up Slashdot. +5 insightful for this crap?
