Feminists in tech have been staging attempted ?honey traps? to frame prominent male software developers for sexual assault, according to explosive claims on the blog of Eric S. Raymond, a pioneer of the open source movement. In allegations that will rock the world of software development, prominent targets included Linus Torvalds, creator of the Linux kernel.
Raymond quoted excerpts from an online chat with a trusted source, who told him that the Ada Inititiative, a recently-discontinued feminist advocacy group in tech, was trying to ?collect scalps? by concocting charges of attempted sexual assault against male software developers.
The source told Raymond that the ?MO? of the feminists was to ?get alone with the target, and then immediately report attempted sexual assault.? The source said he had stopped mentoring female developers over fears that they might fabricate such charges.
In another explosive claim, the source also alleged that Linus Torvalds, the renowned creator of the Linux kernel, perhaps the most famous example of open source software, is a top target of the Ada Initiative. ?Linus is never alone at any conference,? claimed the source. ?This is not because he lets fame go to his head and likes having a posse around. They have made multiple runs at him.?
