Thanks for the reference. It is so comforting to know that such initiatives are already working towards solving that issue! Also have you seen this: https://www.youtube.com/user/feministfrequency I discovered that during my research, that is awesome! I had of course some sense about the existence of that problem. I have first person knowledge of very skilled women suffering all the range from invisibilization to aggression, therefore limiting or avoiding their contribution to Debian or Free Software. But what I am finding now is too far away of what I was prepared to expect. It is sort of embarrasing for me, because it has been probably my 'male-ity' what has been hidden the dimension of the problem to me. The worst thing is that I am clearly identifying that same cognitive bias in many of the messages that I am reading. I think that debugging sexism from Debian is a constructive approach to explore alternative pathways to overcome this problem. It seems like the censorship approach seems to trivialize the problem building on some tradition to cartooning sexism as a matter of artistic expression. Feel free to get in touch if you have suggestions about how I/ we could better contribute to patch this bug in Debian. -- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-women-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
