[Noisebridge-discuss] modern sexism

[Elizabeth Hubbard]

Furthermore, if a man calls himself a feminist and someone says he isn't,
and he argues with her (as any human who calls themselves anything would do
if told they aren't), then he isn't a feminist?  That's ridiculous.  People
shouldn't be forced to stomach bigotry.
