Hot take: #bropenscience *is* sexist...and alienates the very people that we want on our side. Science is, objectively, dominated by men, but I'm not sure this is the right approach. It feels a little bit like if we got called "lady scientists". Dismissed by gender.
"OSS ppl come from all over" I'm sure they do but it doesn't change how the ideologies line up or the history of the movement(s). With respect to a "negative perception of ourselves". I'm not convinced, but it's possible of course.

"FOSS projects are voluntary associations. They are self-governing — not always perfectly democratic, but with community involvement in the governing."

"Quietly, without fuss, FOSS projects everywhere have implemented almost point by point the characteristics of the type of Anarchism that was tried in Catalan during the Spanish Civil War."
