On: Here We Go Again

[ip34162]

Seems like RMS's Achilles' heel is harassment towards women, over the years, even after being made aware of it politely by others.

In that light, these are classic reads on the topic (copy pasting another comment):

[1] Why are There so Few Female Computer Scientists (Ellen Spertus, 1991)

[2] How to Encourage Women in Linux (Val Henson, 2002)

[3] What Happens to Us Does Not Happen to Most of You (Kathryn S. McKinley, 2018)

[4] Unlocking the Clubhouse: Women in Computing (Jane Margolis and Allan Fisher, 2001)

[5] The Elephant in the Valley (by Michele Madansky and Trae Vassallo, 2015)

Also the news of RMS coming back seems to have been hidden from even FSF members.
