As if they hadn't discredited the movement enough already, feminists are now reportedly attempting to collect scalps from notable men in tech. And they're not worried about little things like the sexual assault they report actually happening.

Feminists in tech have been staging attempted "honey traps" to frame prominent male software developers for sexual assault, according to explosive claims on the blog of Eric S. Raymond, a pioneer of the open source movement. In allegations that will rock the world of software development, prominent targets included Linus Torvalds, creator of the Linux kernel.

Raymond quoted excerpts from an online chat with a trusted source, who told him that the Ada Inititiative, a recently-discontinued feminist advocacy group in tech, was trying to "collect scalps" by concocting charges of attempted sexual assault against male software developers.

The source told Raymond that the "MO" of the feminists was to "get alone with the target, and then immediately report "attempted sexual assault." The source said he had stopped mentoring female developers over fears that they might fabricate such charges.

In before someone disbelieves the message because they dislike the messenger.

    If it involves ESR, well, . . . .

    Real men are actually feminists. Scaredy-pants girly boys are oppressed by feminists, because they are scared. Of course, they are also scared of Blizzard. At some point, these guys need to just admit their orientation, and that they are "bottoms". Only then will they find peace.

    Real, Real men? Perhaps we have lost touch with what manliness is. I know it is confusing for those of you who played football (American). First thing to realize, cheerleaders were not cheering you, and did not, generally, want to have your babies. Secondly, no one actually wants to have sex with ESR. I mean, I hear he is in an "open" marriage, just like that whore Ayn Rand, but that does not mean that anyone besides the poor person who has to stand beside him, because someone does, could possibly want . . . to. . . . OK, the actual expression of the thought is beyond me, partly out of concern for whoever might be reading this, way past their bedtime, and maybe having fantasies involving ESR,,, again, does not compute, cannot imagine, beyond the pale, and divide by zero. There is a website, http://www.artofmanliness.com/ [artofmanliness.com] Has problems, but all gentlemen do, only they do not air them in public, as Eric cannot seem to stop himself from doing.

    Now call off your Warboys, Faggots! [full disclosure: faggots are bundles of firewood, and have no relation to sexual preference, or cigarettes, which is French diminutive and feminine, so if you smoke. . . Vaping changes nothing!)
