Larry Cafiero aka Larry the Free Software Guy reports via FOSS Force:

You've been using Linux for some time and have been thinking, "Gee, I wish I could make a living with Linux."

    The term to describe this is "benevolent sexism".

    It's one of the many results of gynocentric movements.

    Feminism jumped the shark when they started pulling the white feather shit, now feminists aren't even trying to hide that their sole focus is gynocentrism.

    Feminism jumped the shark when they started pulling the white feather shit

    wikipedia:

    A white feather has been a traditional symbol of cowardice, used and recognised especially within the British Army and in countries associated with the British Empire since the 18th century, especially by far-right nationalists and early feminists in order to humiliate men who were not soldiers.

    are you saying feminism "jumped the shark" in the 1700s?

        No, you mangled them. Lack of linguistic ability is a common side effect of excess maleness, as well as a lack of intelligence and ungrounded misogynist paranoia. Get help while you still can!
