"[Miriam] Ruiz feels it would be a good idea to have a code of conduct in Debian as Ubuntu does. “That way, women -and maybe other groups too- wouldn’t be de facto censored and pushed down by certain practices that seem to try to keep the current status quo of no more women in the project than those strictly needed. In fact, to be honest, I wouldn’t bring any of my female friends to Debian right now, as things are”."

Debian women may leave due to ‘sexist’ post, and the message.
If you rant (I won’t discuss here if you’re right or not, but I think it was a bad message in the wrong place) and you say things like these in a news site, I think it’s incompatible with “loving a project” such as Debian. Just because you may be wrong or over-reacting.
May be I’m missing the whole picture here, but Miriam is showing us the Debian developers as a bunch of misogynous guys offending women with sexist messages in the project’s mailing lists. Or even worse, may be other groups are being de facto censored in the same way.
I’m sorry, but I can’t believe it.
