FreeBSD Goes Full-On SJW

Journal by The Mighty Buzzard

In case you haven't heard, FreeBSD has a new code of conduct that's seemingly pulled straight from the shit-spewing face of a blue-haired intersectional feminist.

Me, I refuse to contribute to any coding project with a code of conduct designed to protect people of one political ideology from those who disagree with them. They're of course welcome to do what they like but they'll be doing it without my help in any way.

    Well then we agree on that. Equality of opportunity, not equality of outcome.

    Now apply that to the supposed 'wage gap' please?

    I think you're begging the question here, Arik. If we consider an observed wage gap between genders, you are implying that you assume each gender already has an equal opportunity to earn the same wage for a given role (or an equal opportunity to successfully negotiate the same wage). Those that complain about the wage gap would disagree with you on that.

    Forcibly adjusting people's pay to address the wage gap could be construed as equalizing outcome but only within the confines of a specific employment role.

    You express a desire for equality of opportunity, but how does one go about creating that? It certainly cannot be achieved by doing nothing unless it already exists universally in society. Unfair discrimination certainly exists, so that's not the case.

    A key example of inequality of opportunity is where some individuals are born into very wealthy, influential families, affording them great capital and business connections right from the start. There are millions of others who have none of that. How would you go about addressing that inequality? Is adjusting outcome completely off limits?
