I hate to say it, but from all my observation of this community for the last three years, I have to say the exact opposite is the case, and this is only further evidence of it - except a few individuals, of which Ben was one.

I don't think people are staying away from Node because they are afraid of not being able to let their prejudices fly free in a male dominated environment. I think they are staying away from the vitriol that seems to permeate *every* discussion around here. It doesn't matter if it is something impactful, like a core API, or this lynch-mob foofaraw that pushed Ben to leave Node. I have *never in my life* seen a level of static electricity in an open source community similar to this. So much for civility. I find the final irony to be the fact that IMHO, Ben was the most civil of all, or at least the most consistent civil voice. Others are free to disagree with me, but I'm pretty sure everyone lost here.
