I believe his daughter was infected by feminism. She is a signatory to the Post-Meritocracy Manifesto and is a full-blown intersectional feminist. Linus has a choice: either go along with this or accept that his daughter is mentally ill. I can understand why a parent might deceive themselves rather than accept the latter.

Post-Meritocracy Manifesto

Patricia Torvalds on computing, college, feminism, and increasing diversity in tech

LMAO, this is hilarious.... Why does her opinion matter, did she also develop a kernel like her daddy? Nope. No wonder why these people are against merit.

Her wealthy family explains why she got in to feminism. After all, she has to find some way to become oppressed despite having opportunities most people will never see. Even if she's talented in her own right, which is quite possible, we know why her signature matters. Daddy's the Linux guy. That's apparently why the opinion of this spoilt little lady matters.
