>Description:
There is a phrase in geli man pages that I would classify as sexist:
"Create an encrypted provider, but use two keys: one for your girlfriend
and one for you (so there will be no tragedy if she forgets her
passphrase):"
The problem I see is that this kind of statements (transmitting implicitely
that System Manager is a male and his girlfriend is stupid) can give really
negative image of freeBSD community, also it is possible that female users feel
ofended and withdraw from using this OS. As a female user of free software, I
have to say that being treated without prejudices is rare in IT communities,
integration is difficult and surely this kind of behaviour does not help.
>How-To-Repeat:
man geli

Create an encrypted provider, but use two keys: one for your partner
and one for you (so there will be no tragedy if he/she forgets his/her
passphrase):
