Open source is based on the hacker ethos, individual empowerment and the belief in free software. It was never based on feminism.
Who on earth said open source was based on feminism (whatever that could mean)? Please reread my above comment.
Meanwhile it never hurts to reexamine that age old assumption that every generation's fight is a novel one. The hacker ethic is fundamentally a set of political beliefs and if you really believe that those SJW boogeymen are the first to try to exclude people based on not aligning with some holy set of political opinions, then, again, you're missing out on the entire history of the FOSS movement. You don't even have to go far; ESR has some great writings on that very topic :)
