Sure, it is a joke. And it would remain equally funny if the "emacs virgin" was either sex. Perhaps it would be even funnier if it is the stereotyped male geek who plays the rôle of the virgin to be thrown into the flaming volcano in some B movie...

> the "emacs virgin" was either sex.

This change has been in place since last year.

RMS agreed to the rules long ago, and reaffirms that position from time to time.

What's happening on the gnome-foundation list seems to be more about RMS-bashing than about equality or inclusion :-/ If one can't attack his philosophy, just derail the discussion by digging up, again, a joke from a year ago that got taken badly.
