Hi [member=411]bitsnpcs[/member] !
I just noticed this thread and thought: This is great! This addresses something important. Yes, all people need to see themselves represented in a community, in an area of interest, and see themselves being included and treated respectfully. And as a white, straight male, I need to be active in promoting it and participating in it.
I don't spend a ton of time on forums, and I haven't seen this before, so I apologize if I cover old territory.
Some things I wonder: How did you discover Linux, the whole world of alternative OSes, and become a user? And are there things you notice in the design of an operating system or a desktop environment (like Linux Lite, or others) that 'assumes maleness,' that you wish were more considerate of non-male users?
Thank you for offering to share your experiences with us!
