Just for some push back Paul, your hyper left wing views is probably not for AusNOG

Might I suggest Reddit?

I guess the mods are going to want this convo closed ><

I'm pretty sure women are more interested pay equality, leadership, upskilling and just not being harassed over nitpicking on a word.

While I can appreciate the spirit of OP, there are bigger issues.
