It makes no sense. FSF treats employees better than most companies and are very open minded as well. It is very progressive and open to GLBT people, etc.

I think it is some sort of politics, like trying to attack Linus because he rejected some SJW's contributions to the Linux Kernel because it caused a Kernel panic and asked if she bothered to test the code before submitting it. Then he is accused of being sexist towards her because he used cuss words.

Didn't Linus say something along the lines of "I don't care about your gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, or whatever else, except the code you submit"? That seems to be his attitude toward such things.

That seems unlikely. For one thing, Linus and all that would have been mentioned.
