Feminists Are Trying To Frame Linus Torvalds For Sexual Assault, Claims Open Source Industry Veteran

Feminists in tech have been staging attempted “honey traps” to frame prominent male software developers for sexual assault, according to explosive claims on the blog of Eric S. Raymond, a pioneer of the open source movement. In allegations that will rock the world of software development, prominent targets included Linus Torvalds, creator of the Linux kernel.

Raymond quoted excerpts from an online chat with a trusted source, who told him that the Ada Inititiative, a recently-discontinued feminist advocacy group in tech, was trying to “collect scalps” by concocting charges of attempted sexual assault against male software developers.

The source told Raymond that the “MO” of the feminists was to “get alone with the target, and then immediately report attempted sexual assault.” The source said he had stopped mentoring female developers over fears that they might fabricate such charges.

In another explosive claim, the source also alleged that Linus Torvalds, the renowned creator of the Linux kernel, perhaps the most famous example of open source software, is a top target of the Ada Initiative. “Linus is never alone at any conference,” claimed the source. “This is not because he lets fame go to his head and likes having a posse around. They have made multiple runs at him.”

Raymond, who is a renowned figure in the open source community, strongly vouched for the trustworthiness of his source, telling readers that he had been “well-informed and completely trustworthy in the past. He added that another “regular” on his blog had also been present for the conversation.

“The short version is: if you are any kind of open-source leader or senior figure who is male, do not be alone with any female, ever, at a technical conference,” wrote Raymond on his blog. “Try to avoid even being alone, ever, because there is a chance that a ‘women in tech’ advocacy group is going to try to collect your scalp.”

Raymond’s blog post, which can be read in full here, goes on to recommend an attitude of “collective guilt” and “scepticism” towards the claims of feminists in tech.

‘They have made multiple runs at him.’ Just let the implications of that sink in for a bit. If my source is to be believed (and I have found him both well-informed and completely trustworthy in the past) this was not a series of misunderstandings, it was a deliberately planned and persistent campaign to frame Linus and feed him to an outrage mob.

Linus hasn’t spoken out about this; I can think of several plausible and good reasons for that. And the Ada Initiative shut down earlier this year. Nevertheless, this report is consistent with reports of SJW dezinformatsiya tactics from elsewhere and I think it would be safest to assume that they are being replicated by other women-in-tech groups.

(Don’t like that, ladies? Tough. You were just fine with collective guilt when the shoe was on the other foot. Enjoy your turn!)

I’m going to take my source’s implied advice. And view ‘sexual assault’ claims fitting this MO with extreme skepticism in the future.

If true, these claims will rock the world of software development, not to mention the wider tech community, which is suffering under the yoke of diversity campaigners levelling bogus charges of sexism at companies and individuals and pestering companies to improve their diversity credentials.

Discontent at the behaviour of feminists in tech has already been spreading in the open source community thanks to the feminist-led introduction of controversial codes of conduct for developers on some open source projects. But these new claims elevate feminists in tech from the controversial to the potentially criminal.

The claims of Raymond’s source could also provide an explanation for why so many tech diversity activists, such as the innovation expert Vivek Wadhwa, and the Puerto Rican software developer Roberto Rosario, have been mercilessly set upon by tech feminists.

If feminists are trying to frame software developers for sexual assault, it would be important for them to occupy the chief positions in the “diversity movement” to ensure the incidents were followed by sufficient outrage across the movement. Prominent diversity activists who are not subscribed so such nefarious methods could therefore present a problem.

Despite widespread discussion in the industry of the explosive claims on Raymond’s blog, and the stature of Raymond within software development, other tech news outlets – normally champing at the bit to report on diversity issues – have so far been curiously silent on this story. Breitbart Tech is, thus far, the exception.

Mais ce n’est pas tout, plus loin dans le texte, mon logiciel s’offusque que mon vénérable professeur puisse parler de « l’épouse » du ministre japonais des Affaires étrangères Sonoda Tsuneo, délicieusement prénommée Tenkôkô, un pseudonyme qu’elle s’était choisie dans sa jeunesse anarchiste et qui signifie « ciel et éblouissement », précise mon vénérable professeur. Exit « épouse », donc, terme accusé d’être « discriminatoire » par Microsoft. L’inclusivité exclut beaucoup. Mais mon bon logiciel ne se contente pas de critiquer, il propose. Et quels termes propose-t-il pour remplacer l’hideux vocable d’épouse ? « Conjoint » ou… « partenaire », comme dans la publicité « partenaire minceur » de l’eau minérale Contrex.

Á la réflexion, il me faut admettre que les « outils » que me propose Microsoft sont bien plus ou bien moins que des outils. Avant de servir à quoi que ce soit, ces outils véhiculent une idéologie aussi bête que nocive. Je vais donc de ce pas résilier mon abonnement, si par chance je retrouve les mots de passe nécessaires.
