Sometimes feminists give feminism a bad image. The sad thing is that in every movement there are people with agendas that align with the movement but don't further the movement. It seems very prevalent in both the feminist and open source community. Unfortunately for women they often feel as alienated from feminism as they do from the open source community leaving them nowhere to go. I recently spoke at a careers event in my local middle school (kids are about 11, getting ready to go to high school) about working in video games. Everyone loved it, everyone wanted to work in video games but in the back of my mind I knew a disproportionate number of the girls would lose interest along the way because of the overwhelmingly negative reaction they will get from the 'community'. As a father of two girls it is a constant battle to give them the tools to deal with it.
