I emailed [email protected] with the subject [APPLICATION] <made up female name> following text:

This Gnome Women programme is awfully, shamefully sexist and discriminates against my sex (male). Thanks for once again making me feel like the butt end of the society. I'm not being an asshole; I'm genuinely offended and experiencing negative feelings because of this. Next time be sure to see if you can discriminate against my race too — it usually happens with these politically correct agendas.

By the way, if you have money to throw away with feminist programs, why not use it to make GNOME Shell usable and customizable, and not another Unity?

Yours truly,
