It just really dawned on me that people would genuinely rather destroy any present momentum in a unified front for FOSS than let women participate without fear of being sexually or otherwise harassed.

People genuinely hate me so much that they'd rather destroy FOSS than let me participate in any meaningful way.

People legitimately can't break out of their narrative that I'm somehow irrationally enraged and just snapping at everything for fun. This is on the basis of my not wanting the most visible organization in Free software to be once again run by someone with an extensive history of sexually harassing basically every woman that made the mistake of talking to him at MIT. People legitimately think my feeling like that's unsafe is petty, nitpicking, and "starting shit"

FSF, - 

I'm not throwing in the towel. Free software is too important for a shitty cishet white boy's club to ruin it. Anyone who thinks this is simply a matter of aesthetics can genuinely get fucked. People feel unsafe for real, tangible, rather immediate reasons. I'm mad now.

RMS said he's sorry for the people he's sexually harassed and maybe instead of pointing fingers you should say sorry for the people you've sexually harassed.
