      given the long history of documented misogyny attributable to him ('not aware of any women contributors to GCC or Emacs', Emacs virgins joke, etc.) you'd have to be awful fucking naive to think he didn't contribute to that

      again, do some fucking self crit we're begging you

          In a 2007 interview, he said:

          I don’t have any experience working with women in programming projects; I don’t think that any volunteered to work on Emacs or GCC.

          A number of women have contributed to GCC, including:

          • Janis Johnson maintains the test suite and has been a contributor since 2001
          • Sandra Loosemore is the lead author of the GNU Library Reference Manual;[3] RMS is listed as her co-author.
          • Dorit Nuzman made major contributions to loop scheduling and vectorization.
          • Carolyn Tice is also mentioned as a contributor.

          sorry I don't brook misogyny in free software. take this apology and liberal great manning somewhere else. free software doesn't need rms

          e: you can review my comments in this thread and see that I do find some nuance. but that doesn't mean I'm sticking my head in the sand over his misogyny. there are plenty of neurospicy ppl who aren't sexist
