I've been a diehard free & open source software user, contributor, and backer since college in the 90s. But at this point, I would rather run proprietary software that I can NEVER see or change if the alternative is to run software licensed by the FSF.
It does not. That piece was deeply misogynistic and absolutely serves as child rape apologia. With Lessig the arguments are more sophisticated and complex. But the apologia is still right there. Please listen to us women.

I'm listening but not understanding. He explicitly stated how terrible he felt when it unraveled & how he should have originally pushed back. His arguments about anon donations are interesting & debatable but I don't see how they support rapists.

Explaining this to you is not my responsibility. Just note that women leaders in the community are telling you he is writing apologia and do the work yourself. Don't put your lack of understanding on our shoulders.

Mandy, I hear you. I have read what MIT grad Selam G wrote. Her story moved me. I know what is like to feel so angry you can’t work, it’s horrible. She should not have to feel as she does. Almost all of what she wrote I agree with.

I think there's a lot of pain in our shared community today. Pain that has been caused by men who hurt women and enable other men to hurt women. The underlying structure of the patriarchy in open communities is visible right now. Let's use that opportunity to dismantle it.
-
I suspect there's a further reckoning needed where we learn the structure of the underlying racism and colonialism of our communities and then hopefully dismantle that too.

I am listening. (Many are listening.) I agree the apologia you reference miss the point and are wrong. I have not yet read Lessig’s piece, though, I’ve been busy volunteering for 3 days.
