The pervasive sexism in our profession is a serious problem,

invaluable return.
Yeah but it can also discourage the many people who are fed up
with political correctness. The "tremendously small price"
might be much bigger than you think...
I cannot think of any case where restricting discussions of sex
will restrict anyone's ability to write code in D or talk about
the language's development.
I thank Walter for keeping these forums focused. It would be
really hard to recommend D otherwise. There's no way I could
recommend D to a class full of grad students if the primary forum
for discussion were not family-friendly.
