So much fuss for so little

I think women should devote their energies to relevant issues/causes in the feminism struggle which i think is about liberty and freedom, as in free software, and not waste time with this nonsense.
I don´t think that RMS should be forgived because of his status in the community either, it´s just that there isn´t much to forgive for; the real issue is that women lay far behind in emacs and other software use, and computer literacy in general, and that should give much trouble and concern, especially when there isn´t any reason that justifies it - if we ignore an education system that push girls to the 'gender lock', anyway. RMS was just pointing that, maybe in a somewhat clumsy way, but he got the point. Let's not distract our minds with pseudo-virginity matters that add very little to the discussion.
Should we also alter the denomination of the LinuxChix convention, because 'chix' maybe interpreted as a sexiest reference? if so, i must reprehend myself for tagging women related issues with 'chix' in delicious; get real or get lost, said i in my own clumsy way - my upfront apologies for that to the 'virgin' offendee. i guess that latent-agressivity remark exposed my manhood, ups another prejudice, this time against my own kind - i´m on fire, oh there i go again, ... did you noticed the belicist remark. -- that's so 'XY chromosomed', i know.
