LWN-style discussion

This entire discussion has been a giant distration *if* you don't care that we may be throwing away half our potential developer base, in addition to making lots of people feel unhappy (which should be a reason to change in itself).

(If you happen to think that the reason for this is that women just naturally think differently from men -- I don't -- then you should be even *more* in favour of fixing this. That's a different viewpoint we're not getting, and different viewpoints = better design/coding/bugfixing.)
