[Noisebridge-discuss] modern sexism

[Elizabeth Hubbard]

I guess we had a misunderstanding.  There was a big fuss over whether or
not men could even use the word a few months ago.  I was, back then,
offended for some legitimate but not very important reasons.  Everybody
lives a different life and thinks different things and misunderstandings
happen.  I did like all the lololols though.

I'd have responded the same way with the Thank Yous whether or not it's a
sarcastic meme.  A newsletter's a fucking great idea.  Thank you!
