It has to be said though that young girls are still significantly discouraged from computers far more often than young boys.
The systematic misogyny starts from the family. But instead of addressing that, the writer of this article just waves it away as if feminism is some straw-boogey-woman who is "taking over" the IT field.
"Doge" is a pathetic Internet meme where people late to the game re-packaged the age-old concept of animal pictures superimposed with intentionally grammatically incorrect captions as found in LOLCATZ and call it a new meme.
The problem with BitBucket is that they tolerated the blatantly misogynistic Feminist Software Foundation and their C+= repo for more than a week, whereas GitHub pretty much quickly removed them after complaints.
Even with the free private hosting on BitBucket, that controversy alone makes it an unsuitable hosting service for any serious software project.
The problem with RMS is that he always assumes people to agree with his way of thinking. His uncompromising tone is also a big problem.
I know, programmers are supposed to be emotionless meritocratic robots, but this Old Boys Know Best attitude is precisely why RMS and GCC is losing user share so quickly these days: the extremist meritocracy of programming culture is actually highly male-centric, and it simply scares off all women and any men who are not sexists.
This is why LLVM is gaining so much support these days: it's technically superior, and its development community isn't sexist.
What we need now is more focus towards females. Men are already sufficiently saturated in the maths/CS fields. What we need is to market the idea of maths as fun to more females.
It also says a lot about the current state of "feminism" (whatever no-true-scotsman definition of the word might take) is with regards to the coding community.
I mean, people can no longer discern if it's a troll or a sincere "feminist" any more without resorting to picking up obvious troll e-mail addresses. (And evern then, the dev of Light Table just accepted the troll pull request.)
I foresee both sincere and satirical efforts of such extremist "gender neutral" feminist edits to increase in the coming months after the libuv incident.
