There is a phrase in geli man pages that I would classify as sexist: "Create an encrypted provider, but use two keys: one for your girlfriend and one for you (so there will be no tragedy if she forgets her passphrase):" The problem I see is that this kind of statements (transmitting implicitely that System Manager is a male and his girlfriend is stupid) can give really negative image of freeBSD community, also it is possible that female users feel ofended and withdraw from using this OS. As a female user of free software, I have to say that being treated without prejudices is rare in IT communities, integration is difficult and surely this kind of behaviour does not help. Fix: 1# Create an encrypted provider, but use two keys: one for your partner and one for you (so there will be no tragedy if he/she forgets his/her passphrase): 2# Create an encrypted provider, but use two keys: one for your partner and one for you (so there will be no tragedy if the partner forgets his/her passphrase): How-To-Repeat: man geli

As a female committer, I have to say that you're asking to be treated differently by proposing unnecessary changes in such a fashion. While the wording could have been better in regards to being more professional (such as the patch that pjd committed), saying that a female isn't going to use FreeBSD because of a humorous statement in a man page is ridiculous. If you don't want to see prejudice in IT communities, stop making everything a gender issue. Instead, if you would like to see more changes in the future, propose a phrasing that is more professional and leave your gender out of it. -- randi
1. Who says the subject was a male actor in the first place :)? 2. What would you think if it was flipped around to state: Create an encrypted provider, but use two keys: one for your boyfriend and one for you (so there will be no tragedy if she forgets her passphrase): I doubt anyone would care. Thanks, -Garrett
