Hi, I'd like to get attention to the state the FOSS community way was/is monopolized/dominated by feminist values in the past years(2010 onwards).
Any major FOSS entity seems to be pretty much militant in their feminist code of conduct and set up designated teams(and probably allocated funds too) in order to adopt feminist centered ideological strategies(pretty much Big Corp CoD).
While the development side is grossly male dominated the fact that all projects are esentially monopolized by the current decade feminist wave opens the discution about the future role of male devs and their actual say in the matters.
Are men still heared in central decisions that some projects take and do men that disagree with this mainstream feministic wave have any place left or are they just figure heads that answer 'down' to the "diversity and inclusion team"?
I feel that as time goes by the system will shift from meritocracy to "diversity expansion" and mantainers will be challanged to refuse or disagree with individuals using the victim card/false harrasement tactics.
Red Hat already seems to have taken steps to remove terms like "blacklist,whitelist,master,slave" from their code and general Linux config setups.
Just my two cents and realization of the poor state things are in.
