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.

Your world seems to be a strange place of non sequiturs
Wonderful. I like a world where nothing follows. Not a bad place, once you get used to it. Just follow me to over here. ERS, the man is a saint! He is a pacifist, who owns no guns! So all criminals, feminists, and socialists, can contribute to his Patreon fund. To get his physical location. So we can have gay sex with him. This is what he wants! You say "non sequitur"? I say, bend over ESR? Equally vaiid.

I said nothing of my worldview, only what you are arguing. Mirroring is the term that comes to mind in regard to your own actions.

> No, that's not what I was arguing.
I am sure you don't think you were arguing that. But that doesn't stop it from being the logical conclusion of your arguments.
