I am sorry, I go far beyond axboe, this is a storm in a thimble, Linus is often very rude and usually right.

This silly woman should STFU and stop working on the kernel and go back to sandal knitting.

I for one am sick and tired of special case identity politics and PC. from women. They want to play, then play don't start asking to change the rules

Your misogynistic comments are not acceptable in any community of decent human beings. A basic capacity for empathy should demonstrate to you why that is the case.

Also, Sarah's message had absolutely nothing to do with her gender anyway so your comments are even further off the mark.

Decent human beings are sick and tired of putting up with jerks like you.

Seriously ? Is that an argument?

"It is known that every single woman in the world does sandal knitting and can't program."

It's also known that every stupid man in the world think that every woman in the world does sandal knitting.

You have to understand that women doesn't threaten your manhood. In a (technical) world were women are often degraded and seen as subplayers, they have a clear right to advocate for rule changing. Just like they did in the past when they campaigned to get the right to vote. Like they did in the past to recclaim their own body. You may not like this but you're fooling yourself if you think it will not happen.

Getting your old fashionned sexist comment is just unneeded anymore. It's not women who have to adapt to a sexist world. It's the sexist world that must disapear - and hopefully, it will. Your comment just make you look like a dinosaurus who does not realize he's already out of time.
