All,
Other open source projects have excellent information on why less

Reclaiming "Like a girl" to no longer be an insult highlights that
language is an important part of our interactions.
While on campaigns, here are another two specifically on tech and
gender, both with major corporate backing [0][1].
Circling back to OSGeo Charter Member nominations, Jeff receive

For those interested in gender bias, you might want to look at this
"Like a girl" campaign, which questions the meaning that "Like a girl"
has in our language, and suggests redefining it.

Having heard too many sad stories from across the software industry, and having
seen a couple first-hand, that totally makes my day. We’re doing something
right, folks.

Hi,
thank you Jeff for having raised this matter, I find it really interesting
for the sake of pure data analysis and discussion. I agree with Maria

It has been reported to me directly that there are not enough female
