In fairness to Ben, it must be recognised that there are very few women here, and that is a problem Ben (and I) would like to rectify. We just disagree on the root cause of that, and whether or not mild put-downs such as the one in question are part of the cause or not. (Well, I call it a "mild put-down". Ben may or may not agree that it is mild.) -- Steven -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
