"have to respectfully disagree with you there. It's not that feminists are trying to get more rights than men, it's that they're trying to get them more rights than they currently have. Totally different."
"The goal of feminism is to get women more rights"

Sounds like we are in agreement...I think that the goal of a feminism promoting women is sexist. If you cared about equality your fight wouldn't be for women it would be for equality generally. A good example is in Canada when women were granted the right to voted the feminist movement celebrated as would I. But Nellie McClung pushed that men should have the right to vote. Which is fully in line with feminism but clearly opposed to Equalism.

A lot of the issues you listed are cultural and suck and we will keep working towards fixing these issues, I think/hope they will get better with time. BTW women win the nobel prize all the time and its nothing special at all, maybe you are thinking of 20years ago.

I don't think all feminists are bad but I think it lends itself to abuse whereas stating that you are an equalist does not.

But most OSS projects don't work through face to face conversations.

I believe that many, if not most, OSS projects do have conferences and other get-togthers, at least for the project leaders.

Google hits for: Linux conference = 36,700,000

Google hits for: Apache conference = 5,970,000

Google hits for: PHP conference = 65,100,000

And of course many people are drawn into the F/OSS world by exposure via classes or LUGs or other meatspace interactions.

So why would you explicitly start a movement emphasizing one of those things, as if it said something about the quality of your code?

Why would you think that belonging to such a group was intended as a statement about the quality of one's code?
