Jeez. Hypocrisy and over reactions!
Shuttleworth uses the word "girls", which is generally accepted to be synonymous with "young women", and srrlinux launches an attack against all men.
Yes the word "girls" used in this way is inherently sexist (along with the rest of the English language and other languages too I might add). But I think singling him out for it is a bit ridiculous. And, boycotting the distro that he funds is outright madness.
