This is a Privilege checklist for men in Open Source.
- The leader of any open source I contribute to is probably of my gender
- The vast majority of my co-contributors are of my gender
- When I attend a conference or user group meeting, I won't stand out on account of my gender
- If conference presentations contain sexualized content, it is usually intended to appeal to people of my gender and sexual preference.
- If something of mine is linked on Slashdot, commenters will not generally comment on my sexual attractiveness or availability
- Conference tshirts are generally available in my size.
- People of my gender are not generally used as examples of the most clueless possible user.
- I will seldom be asked for my opinions on anyone's personal lives or emotional crises when trying to participate in technical forums
- I will not be welcomed into a new project because I will make it sexier and more fun
- If my name is not obviously gendered in English or other Western European languages, I will be still be described and discussed using the correct grammatical gender in languages that require it (English he, she, Spanish él, ella and matching adjectives, etc)
