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.

    You're standing there bold face advocating unequal treatment and calling me the sexist? Tell me another one, that one was hilarious.

    Twitter? Yeah, I can cite you numerous incidents of Randi Harper alone brigading and dogpiling anyone who disagrees with her. I can link you the time she doxxed an officer of a collection agency because they had the temerity to try and collect a debt from her. I can link you people who were banned for outing a feminist for dealing in kiddy porn. I can link you Harper employing yet another convicted pedo. You know what though? You're not going to be convinced even if I do, so what's the point? You're not worth the three minutes of time it would take to gather the links.

    Right, you could provide these damning links of criminal behaviour that would completely and irrefutably prove you are right, but you can't be bothered to waste three minutes doing it. Pull the other one, it's got bells on it.

      They're public info. Waste your own time.

        Refusing to provide evidence to back up your claim does not help your case one bit. More like it proves there is no such evidence to provide.

      Jesus christ, you have been pulling the same tactic for the five years over on slashdot and you do it here too. You are sexist, claim others are. You demand other people provide citations when you provide none. You fight with any means necessary even hypoccritically moving the goalposts or start talking about scottsman with the "they aren't real feminists". When people do provide citations you ignore their replies and repeat your harassing, abusive behavior on the next article having anything to do with sex. That is all you care about. Sex. You do not comment on any other articles in meaningful numbers. You are part of the problem that the word feminism has become a slur.

      Out of anyone on this site or the green one you make for a hostile, intellectually dishonest, sexist atmosphere where harassment is more important than facts.

    Where's the unequal treatment the GP is advocating? That women should have control over their own bodies? Really?
