Wait, I recognise that name. "MikeeUSA".

Isn't he a known provocateur? Are we being provoked?

Finishing that quote for you:

> ...Since men are now being assaulted as thanks for their ceaseless decades-long work on opensource by people who did not put in the time, men should /support sexism/ by revoking license to their gratis licensed copyrighted code from any project that adds a "Code of Conduct".

Basically, this guy is spinning the oppression narrative, just from the opposite angle.

We probably shouldn't be focusing so much on who is fighting this matter and for which ideological reasons, because we're talking about a legal framework. Those who challenge that framework may well be trolls, but the fact that they are troll is orthogonal to the legal outcome. That is, you may well consider Oracle to be trolls, but they're still winning (parts of) their case against Google.
