Am I missing something?

Couldn't food production be carbon neutral if it weren't for the use of fossil fuels in fertilizer production, transportation, etc.
Couldn't bicycle production be carbon neutral if it weren't for the use of fossil fuels in the manufacturing process.
Cow farts and methane? If cattle eat grass(not corn feed which is fertilizer heavy hence fossil fuel heavy) doesn't the grass capture green house emissions.

This just seems like nerds playing with mathematical calculations and global warming deniers taking stuff out of context to spread disinformation. The problem is fossil fuels or the taking or stored carbon and releasing it, not whether you ride a bike or not. I could be off base here, as I have done little research of my own into this topic, this all seems like a bunch of hot air or cow farts.

People contribute to open source projects for a complex web of reasons, they may love the challenge or the joy of programming in itself, but high on that list of reasons is the sense of accomplishment and approval people require as social beings from their peers. It is a denial of human nature, our essence as social animals, to say men or women don't or shouldn't need this cultural approval.

If males weren’t accepted as themselves in the FOSS they’d move on. Why should women be any different?

The technology industry, especially the FOSS community possibly because of its skewed younger demographic, is one large fraternity with avert and subtextual sexism at its heart.

One of course could lay the blame on internet anonymity or relegate the problem to just a small minority of actors, but you’d just be lying to yourself and ignoring the utterly pervasive sexist and fraternity like atmosphere that pervades throughout the whole FOSS community and the technology community at large. Code might be judged in open source projects by merit only, but that is as far as the egalitarian spirit goes. Not a single women in the technology industry, is judged by the wider male audience on her merits; instead it is how hot she is, or how she got her job because of her looks, or any other number of sexist judgements.

The problem doesn’t just stop there. It's the disparaging jokes, the sexual innuendo, the frat house culture, all of which we as a community seem to except and adopt as the social norm. It is a larger transgression to disparage some meaningless technology idea or method, than to spout sexist filth.

We have turned our community over to sexist assholes, not by any direct vote or action but by simply excepting herd-like the current social norms of the FOSS community. We really should be ashamed of ourselves.
