I had really hoped this would be an uncontroversial suggestion... It might be useful to provide a link in case others want to take a look at the debate as well: https://github.com/EthicalSource/contributor_covenant/pull/548 I've said everything there I'd say now if I were to argue back, and I really don't want to argue about this on a Guix ML anyway, so I'll leave it to the maintainers to decide what to do. Just one remark for them: most women I know would think twice before spending time trying to get into a community whose rules intentionally don't acknowledge sex-based discrimination. -- Taylan
