These are exactly the things I am interested in. Why is this a male
reaction? I would be curious to learn more about that.

Well, is this a 'women only' list? I did not assume that, especially
since there are public archives of the list. However if I was wrong I
very much apologise and will of course immediately un-subscribe. However
if the community would like to help me understand the situation of women
in free software I would be happy to stay and post questions from time
to time.

Unfortunately they are not involved in the fieldwork-part of the study.
