Sorry everybody, but that is just the kind of mainstream gender talk 
that we - as a movement of the new generation - should avoid. As one 
German blogger wrote when the topic of "discrimination" and "male 
chauvinism" came up in connection with the Pirate Party - "I address all 
of you feminists, civil right defenders and equality proponents: you 
should actually be very, very proud of yourselves that it hasn't taken 
longer than the first decade of the 21st century for a political 
movement to emerge that doesn't concern itself with issues of 
discrimination because it considers the fact that the sexes are equal 
and should not be a basis for any prejudices as an obvious fact, not 
something to be fought for". Actually, the gender topic came up really 
prominently about a month ago when the TAZ (Germany's leading left-wing 
propaganda paper) tried to nail us for being male-chauvinist - and it's 
quite symbolic that as soon as twofemale members of the Berlin regional 
board wrote an article against it they were at once branded by the core 
readership of the paper as being "female mysogynists" and "devotschkas".
So I really hope we can avoid slipping into this thought structure.

Best regards,
Boris
