Maybe we need something like that:

although I hope the pirate movement is less harsh with newbies than the 
kernel mailing list :-)

What I was meaning was that a majority can be discriminating just by 
being unaware of differences. I was replying to what I understood of 
Perline's article. Maybe I just misunderstood it, but I interpreted the 
sentence "La nouvelle génération d’hommes politiques ressemble 
furieusement aux précédentes... " in that sense, since the previous 
generation of male politicians (at least in Italy, where they seem to be 
glued to their seats) is mentally old, chauvinist and often ignorant.
