        @paulg @GloriaSteinem could help you out here. Take some of your statements, replace "female" with "black" and see how they sound then.

        @paulg Gawker is the low grade tabloid of the internet. I automatically assume they butcher any interviews/quotes they post.

        @paulg I'm curious if you think confs and FOSS commit logs are pure self-selection, or if you see other forces at play too?

        @paulg This type of exploitative intentional misquoting only further damages the equality movement we need. She should be fired.
