This is how it works when one has to remove access barriers. Sorry if it harshes the view from the position of privilege, but it is really hard to read remediation as sexism.

The GNOME Women's Summer Outreach Program Posted Jun 15, 2006 4:23 UTC (Thu) by jstAusr (guest, #27224) [Link] What access barriers? Maybe it has more to do with FLOSS (Freely Licensed Open Source Software) not being as high on the social status ladder. Its a society thing, not a gender thing.
The GNOME Women's Summer Outreach Program Posted Jun 15, 2006 6:35 UTC (Thu) by k8to (subscriber, #15413) [Link] At the risk of further dragging out an uninteresting discussion, gendercomporises many things; biological, physical, chemical, developmental aspects all take part, none of which will anyone dispute, I think. Gender is also personal, it is also social. People are socialized into their genders, and to ignore this misses part of the picture.
