</div>That is not the mailing list of ruby but a feminist place which talk<br>
about the the picture that he have used for his speach.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I should have used another reference than this wiki to illustrate my point (though, even if it is a "feminist" wiki, it describes the facts and only the facts and has extensive references, which is not the case of the others references that I have, which express their authors point of view). </div>
<div><br></div><div>Anyhow, the problem with this talk doesn't come from the picture and the title of the talk, but with all the sexist "jokes" from it.</div><div><br></div><div>There are many other examples of sexisms in the Ruby community: this is just the most striking and famous one.</div>

AFAIK that woman picture have been also use many years ago in most of<br>
bus stop in france and no one says anything against that and some more<br>
hot picture. </blockquote><div><br></div><div>Indeed, this is an advertisment for underwears, and I see no problem in having such advertisment in bus stops.</div><div>(But I do see problem with french people complaining about a painting of two men kissing...)</div>
<div>Whether this should be use at a technical conference, this is open to debate (I sure don't think this is very professional).</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
Feminist are feminist and most of time are right, but most of time<br>
forget to react on somethings, like for exemple when Nicolas Sarkozy<br>
whistle his wife like a dog at the end of his first national scroll the<br>
14 July.<br>
<br>
Since Python never act in any ways against women, it should be fine to<br>
stop to spam the mailing list.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Whilst I do not have strong feelings whether this specific debate should go on, I do think that questions that affect our community should be discussed on this mailing list.</div>
<div>I don't think of the Python community as globally sexist, but I am very glad that the PSF and Pycon's staff take this problem at heart.</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
