Speak for yourself, sir. The interactions I've had with female Debian developers have uniformly been positive; these include Susan G. Kleinmann, Amaya Rodrigo Sastre, C.M. Connelly, and Genise Pearce. I enjoy good working relationships with women in my workplace as well; one has forgotten more mathematics than I'll ever know, and another can most certainly leave me bleeding and broken if we had a copy-editing and English-usage throwdown. :) And I don't think I'm at all unique in this regard. I refuse to characterize Debian by anyone's rash actions, or even by our rashest members. To do so deeply devalues our better-behaved comrades, who are in the majority. I, for one, see a distinction between problem-solving and self-flagellation. In my view, the latter is of extremely questionable utility. -- G.
