Drupal founder Dries Buytaert expelled Larry "Crell" Garfield from the Drupal community (archive) for his involvement in the BDSM community. Garfield claims this was done at the demand of Drupal Security team member Klaus "klausi" Purer and unknown others secretly pressuring Drupal leadership to have him removed for his private sex life.
takyon: From Larry's response:
I am involved in two such communities, specifically the BDSM community and the Gorean (Gor) community. The former is by far the larger of the two and more varied, although I spend more of my time and activity in the Gorean community. It's a small community, and sadly much of what is found online about it is utter crap, just as most in the BDSM community find the "50 Shades" representation of BDSM to be harmfully misleading. The Gorean subculture is inspired by a science-fiction book series written from the 1960s onward to today, and predicated on a strong sense of personal honor, integrity, and community. It also practices consensual Master/slave relationships, and has a strong gender bias toward male-Dom/female-sub relationships, but that is not the cornerstone of Gorean culture. There are other groups that are biased the other way, or have no gender bias. There are even groups in Chicago (where I live) that have regular "fem-dom" parties. To each their own.
It's the same Gor that was adapted into two films, one of which appeared on an episode of Mystery Science Theater 3000.

Not only the difference between 2nd generation and 3rd generation of feminists is not real, the only reason this difference is talked about is because of political success of 2nd gen in terming any opposition into "misogyny" and "wants to put women back into the kitchen/1960" or some other similar adhominem. Furthermore the constant propaganda convinces us that feminism is an ideological movement and not a purely political one. "Do you believe in equality? Then you are a feminist and you are just too stupid to not know that." Of course the reality is not that. Feminism has, and it is implied from its name as such, a political movement which wants to put women in more powerful position. It doesn't care who foots the bill as long as it is not women. Functionally it has always portrayed the dominant workforce as an enemy. It is cis-white-het-male in europe, it is islam in middle east, it is hindu in India, it is buddhists in buddhism. Wait one generation and you will find the 4th generation talking about how great 3rd generation of feminists were who were fighting the devil incarnate aka Trump while 4th generation of feminists only want to have more power in already equal society. Why? Because in this equality debate, there is no voice of men. Well, maybe election of Trump stops this nonsense, but lets see.
See, historically manhood was defined by the ability to follow the system (i.e. honor), to protect and provide women. Hence by design the system attracted more men. But now, when we are opulence is way-of-life and government and machinery takes care of most basic needs, licking pussy has become the new standard of manhood. It is only recent that lack of sex has become an insult. When that happens, you can expect corruption to be institutionalized. What is surprising is that while the geeks/nerds were the first people to suffer this - they were the ones being ostracized for 'not being cool' by the girls and their jocks - but because they ended up making a lot of money and hence made the geeky things ultimately look cool, the newer generation of script kiddies are the bullies and not the bullied.
A simple metaphor is look at it as a power game between the queen and the king where queen wants the diamond and the throne in the name of female peasantry, then demonizes slutty behavior [thoughtcatalog.com] to keep those rights with only the "worthy women". King on the other hand, who controls the wealth, is under no moral obligation to pretend that he is worried about the male peasantry. At the end, it is the male peasantry that pays the price for this whole show, literally by paying more tax and then removing themselves from the gene pool (army/suicide).
