[Noisebridge-discuss] FYI: Geek Feminism Wiki

As a man interested in being a better feminist ally, I would like to 
point out a resource I have found valuable, the Geek Feminism Wiki.

It's written by and for geeks, and covers a lot of the basic issues 
around feminism, particularly from a geek perspective.

Whether or not I agree with or understand particular parts of it right 
away is not necessarily as important as the fact that there's a whole 
bunch of stuff already written down and collected in one place for me to 
start working on understanding and agreeing or disagreeing with.

Here is a good page at which to start reading:

http://geekfeminism.wikia.com/wiki/Resources_for_allies

Humbly, two thoughts for persons of privilege (meaning broadly, in a 
feminist discussion, men):

Listening more than talking.
Questions more than answers.

Pete
