The feminist poison is spreading further and further

In 2015 I wrote a (what I consider one of my best-written) blog post about how feminism poisons everything. I commented how the modern regressive leftist social justice feminist ideology is invading, dividing and conquering community after community, from all aspect of society, including video gaming, sci-fi awards, open source software development communities, and so on and so forth.

I have also written about how this is only going to get worse and worse over time, primarily because most American universities have been transformed into indoctrination and training camps. These indoctrinated students aren't going to remain isolated from the rest of society forever, but are going to go back there eventually, and this army of indoctrinated social justice activists is only growing larger and larger by the year, and the effects of this will only become worse and worse with time.

This can already be seen. More and more communities and organizations are adopting openly discriminatory "Codes of Conduct", which explicitly state that they will not treat everybody equally. Most of them use the same standard template, which you can see by making a search like this. For one particular example, I especially like the version used by rpgfix.com, which is contradictory and hypocritical:
Our community prioritizes marginalized people’s safety over privileged people’s comfort. We will not act on complaints regarding ‘reverse’ -isms, including ‘reverse racism,’ ‘reverse sexism,’ and ‘cisphobia’

[...]

Although we will fail at times, we seek to treat everyone both as fairly and equally as possible.
"Although we will fail at times" indeed...

LLVM is a programming language compiler project, which has become one of the largest open source such projects in the world, being adopted and used in an enormous amounts of other projects out there. Recently one of its major contributors, a programmer who was one of the main developers in the project for 12 years, left the project stating explicitly as his reasoning that the LLVM project had adopted a similar discriminatory "code of conduct", as well as associating with an organization that engages in open, explicit and blatant (and possibly even illegal) discrimination against people based on their gender and skin color.

The FreeBSD project became likewise infamous some time ago for adopting a similar "Code of Conduct". It's so "progressive" in its tone that at points it almost feels like a parody of social justice.

All the social justice buzzwords of course appear, like "inclusive", "diversity", "safe", and "spaces" (for some reason "space" has also become a social justice buzzword, as you see it repeated several times in the document, as well as many other such documents elsewhere), as well as all other forms of expression that are so typical of social justice "academics", as well as rather baffling rules. For example (emphasis mine):
Comments that reinforce systemic oppression related to gender, gender identity (and so on)
Deliberate misgendering.
Deliberate use of "dead" or rejected names.
Physical contact and simulated physical contact (e.g., textual descriptions like "*hug*" or "*backrub*") without consent or after a request to stop.
Yeah, better not write "*hug*", or else you could be banned from the project. (I'm not even exaggerating. That's the standard mode of operation.)

I also like this one (again, emphasis mine):
Deliberate "outing" of any private aspect of a person's identity without their consent except as necessary to protect vulnerable people from intentional abuse.
This forbids so-called doxing. That's fine in itself. But what's with that exception?

It means precisely what you probably think it means: It explicitly allows doxing of people who are "misbehaving". The people who are "harassing" others and making them "unsafe". (Which includes, of course, just people who criticize the ideology.)

"Well, it's just a standard policy document. It's just legalese. Nobody even reads these, and it's used only in the most extreme cases." Except that reportedly the FreeBSD project is engaging in mass banning of people, even people who haven't done anything else than to simply criticize this "Code of Conduct" document.

And that's exactly how the social ideology works, and is doing in more and more communities, projects and organizations: Invade, enact draconian rules, and start mass-banning people. Divide and conquer.
