Altho it does serve as a fair analysis of the lack of gender diversity in free ∣ libre ∣ opensource software, the underlying critique in this piece could have been made stronger: The individualistic liberal ideals of the free software move·ment actively work to disrupt socialist, and solidarity‐oriented, modes of producing software. This naturally re·inforces (as it simultaneously obfuscates) existing hierarchies—which happen to be white and male—but I think it’s important to note that, even if the free software move·ment were to miraculously diversify in terms of gender and race, inequality would persist for as long as this liberal frame remained unchallenged.
