> I'm not sure how I feel about this article. On the one hand, it brings to attention an important side effect of the unfriendliness of the community around Linus, namely that it's particularly discouraging to women. Why? What does that have to do with women? Linus said nothing about women. If you want to argue that women are hypersensitive and avoid conflict and therefore Linus is discouraging them, say it. Except saying that would be sexist, wouldn't it?
