It does need to change, yes. One of the core tenets of #openscience is diversity and inclusivity.

I can't stop you claiming the word movement is exclusive. You put it in scare quotes, so you obviously dislike it. But it's unfounded IMHO.

Feminism is a movement. And membership is just about if you believe sexism exists. Maybe you think movement and gatekeeping go hand in hand?

If it has membership, it is a club. A club you may call a movement but still a club. Clubs are typically (or by definition?) exclusive.

I'm a feminist cos I believe in equality. I am an "open scientist" cos I believe openness improves science. Not interested in joining a club

A movement can be passive like a tidal wave sweeping across the land. I am probably part of that surge but I didn't "join" it.

And the way I see it the problem is not that the wave is too white & male but that the entire ocean is. Change that & the wave only grows.

You're wrong. That's not what happens in other areas of opennes. Tech has more women than open source.https://www.wired.com/2017/06/diversity-open-source-even-worse-tech-overall/ …

Is there evidence it is true for open science or just conjecture? I'd say my network of open science folks is about 50% women.

Please gather the data on it, it would be a cool project. But to insist it's certainty not the case is unfounded too.

You claimed that changing the baseline will save us all, but I gave you a clear case where that's not true. I hope I'm wrong but my whisper

networks say otherwise. Anyway, it would be a super cool project. I've mentioned similar ideas like this project before.
