This is, of course, a classic example of derailment. Note that we went from a conference about the lack of women in free software to wondering about the effect of one *man's* comment on the problem.

They're trying to make amends. Sounds about right.

But maybe the FSF (not just Stallman) wants to learn more about the issues involved before making an opinion. Sounds honest enough.

For all we know, he's not even involved in this and the rest of the FSF is trying to make up for his poor behaviour. As in "see? we're not all like *elbow jab* him"

And not only that, but straight into assertions that there aren't any women in FLOSS and when there are, they're rare exceptions or they don't really count anyway because of not being technical/passionate/paid/unpaid enough.
