I have called you out on this issue before. Seriously, understand that the reason you'll be more effective if you're nice on this issue is that a significant subset of folks who behave in a way that keeps women away is because of the things that happened to them when they were adolescents. A significant subset of them thought they weren't handsome enough, tall enough, buff enough to ever be loved by a woman. And then they lived their lives away from them, in their own cliques and IRC channels, fulfilling their physical needs by porn and beginning to see the greatest value of women not to be their personhood or humanity, but something that provides material to jerk one off. I'm not pulling all of this out of my ass, this is from my personal experiences of 15 years of spending nights with programmers in person and in IRC. To reorient their minds and thoughts you have to show them love, not belittle them -- if you belittle them that's only going to frame the situation into a confrontational battle where the other side will naturally start feeling the need to defend itself just because it's their side.
