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.

    Individual liberty, equal rights and opportunities for all humans and respect for the cultures of those who are different is a "collectivist ideology"?

    That's not what the SJW's stand for, it's what they spout to justify their discrimination and abuse. Things like childhood genital mutilation should not be part of any culture I am asked to respect! Would you express support for childhood genital mutilation or be brave enough to condemn these cultural practises even when it offends the dogma of the collective and they will punish you for your condemnation?

    Says you. Without evidence or even logical argument.

    I'm fine with practices that don't impact functionality, like ear (and others) piercing, gauges, removal of the male foreskin, neck rings [wikipedia.org], head coverings, tattoos and many other things that may or may not conform to my cultural background.

    I'm not afraid to speak my mind, nor am I afraid to call people out when I see abuse and harm.

    You're barking up the wrong tree with me, friend. I believe in individual liberty and respect for other humans. Full stop.

    Don't like what I have to say? Make an *actual* argument to support your position, don't read what I write, blather on and show yourself to be narrow-minded and ignorant, or any or none of the former. Your liberty is as important to me as my own, because if yours can be curtailed, so can mine.

    But that doesn't mean I'm willing to let you make unsubstantiated claims and throw insults at a vaguely (or not at all) defined set of people and/or ideas without a rebuttal.

      Likewise [soylentnews.org]

      You say that while completely ignoring the multiple links I've provided for you throughout this discussion of cases where SJW's (oh no - a pejorative) are undeniably the aggressors. I may be posting as an AC but still find your behaviour to be... disrespectful.

      Some people just want their fundamental right to control their own bodies to be respected. The discussion about whether it impacts functionality is thus irrelevant. Frankly, that applies to any forced body modification.

      Additionally, every surgical procedure has risks; if there is truly no impact on functionality, then there is no justification for taking the risks since it involves someone else's body.

      If you weren't talking about forcing these things upon children, then this doesn't apply.

        Huh? what you talkin' about Willis? Who said anything about any of that. You're projecting. Project on someone else please.

        Again, what does that have to do with me? I said, *in the comment you replied to* that:

        WTF?

        If you weren't talking about forcing these things upon children, then this doesn't apply.

        If you have a problem with your children or your parents, take it up with them. I am as uninterested in your trauma/drama/issues as I am uninvolved in them.

          To which I'd have to agree with the AC. Most of that list is abusive if forced on someone too young to consent. Some of them such as the male foreskin are there for a reason. Then there is head coverings which doesn't seem to belong to that set (not sure what gauges are).
