Bet not one female gnus user ever

Bet not one female gnus user ever

[jidanni]

I bet there has not been one female gnus user ever.
Or at least posting on this list.
Or at least still on this list.
Just an observation.

I don't know whether she's still on the list (or reading gmane,
whatever).  Wasn't she involved in medieval music?  Played a strange
archaic instrument?  Sackbut?  Serpent?  Something essy.

Offhand, I can't recall two.

Actually, girls don't write emails on Internet.

"Germinal, terminal, what the hell. I started to do abortions. Nice and easy,
everybody happy, like washing the dishes and leaving a clean sink. That was
my class. I loved it, I loved being an abortionist. I don't believe that a
two-month fetus is a human being so no problems there. I was helping young
girls and married woman who were in trouble, I was making good money. I was
out of the front lines. When I got caught I felt like a deserter that had been
hauled in. But I was lucky, a friend pulled some strings and got me off but
now the big hospitals won't let me operate. So here I am. Giving good advice
again which is being ignored just like in the old days."

Oh, for fecks sake.

Can we all please leave this little patch of feculence, this sexist trolling,
quiet, rather than feeding it?

Ok, guys. Just in case any user who isn't youngish and male ever comes
by this thread, maybe we should stop with the stereotypes now?

Those are all bracelets. OK, working back from the email address I did
manage to find one photo,

there on http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100000879726131 .

OK, I suppose we don't need to wait for the DNA samples to come back from
the lab. OK, there is ONE female gnus user.

Is there some point that you're trying to make with this series of posts?

Like many people here, I know several female Gnus users.  However, one
reason why they may not participate on the mailing list as much as one
might want them to is because of comments and threads like this one, which
can make people feel like biological specimens instead of people.

If there's some sort of barrier in either Gnus or in the mailing list
against women that you think should be addressed, then please do mention
it directly.  I'm sure I'm not the only person here in favor of lowering
barriers.  But if you're just randomly analyzing, you might want to note
that this sort of random analysis can *itself* create a barrier by making
people feel like research data points instead of equal members of the
community.

Ok, it's Saturday, and I'm drunk, so I probably shouldn't be writing
anything on this issue, but I was just thinking: Like, ten years from
now, some researcher will be doing a survey of "Sexism in Free Software"
(with reference to the rather horrid Ruby thing that a month ago-ish,
which was totally embarrasses), and I think, perhaps, that it would be
appropriate to go on record in saying, that, yes, I'm a computer nerd,
but I've read half of Marilyn French's books, most of Andrea Dworkin's
work (including "Woman Hating"), and all of Joanna Russ's work, but it's
still a fascinating question why Emacs development is so stridently
male.

Which it is.

But it's impossible to even try to discuss this without offending
anybody, so...  er...  please don't follow up to this message.  It's all
for that researcher ten years from now.  Hi!
