I disavow the ignorance displayed in the statement that “Feminists always think women are better than men.” But felt important to share how well received such a message is received on this site.

Sadly and ironically, FOSS mentality and bigotry have a very broad overlap. I guess being terminally online at a formative age can have only so many outcomes.
My guess is that bigotry is fairly common in general. I really say that there is somehow less of it in the FOSS space.
While I see how it would be very logical to think that a community founded under the principles of openness, cooperation and liberty would have less bigotry, this is sadly not the case.
most foss spaces im in are one of the gayest places ever :3
Glad to hear you've found welcoming places. It is unfortunately not the case for most of the community and the first step in making any kind of improvement is acknowledging the problem.
... What?
Is this a comment intended for a different post?
Don't see what you don't get.
Where does FOSS come in to it? Doesn't seem related to the OP?
I see. Lemmy, and the fediverse in general, have a higher concentration of FOSS-minded people.
You didn't ask for evidence, just assumed there wasn't any. Go bother someone else.
Okay, I'll ask for evidence then.
Source?

Already sourced since way before you left your comment. Did you just wanna argue?
Did you just want to make bold statements without expecting to defend them?
Thank you for letting me know you have no interest in learning. Saves me some time.
Shoo shoo

It's just an observation from the years I've spent in the FOSS, OSS and general tech communities, but sure:
'Patches don’t have gender': What is not open in open source software (this one's restricted but I'm sure you know how to get around that)
Diversity in open source is even worse than in tech overall
Gender differences and bias in open source: pull request acceptance of women versus men
Assessing the Influence of Toxic and Gender Discriminatory Communication on Perceptible Diversity in OSS Projects
A tracker for misogyny in tech
The dark side of open source conferences
thanks, your original comment didn’t adequately convey the scale you meant to indicate and so this helps :)
You're welcome! I found some interesting reading while reviewing the sources so thank you, too.
