As already written in -women, this is the point which saddens me the most in this thread. I'm really disappointed by seeing most contributors just not realize why this package, as proposed, is likely to hurt the feelings of several women (probably not all, I don't know) as well as, indirectly or not, some men. I have indeed no intention for objection this package in any matter. I'd just hope that the maintainer proposing it realizes that, though he personnally doesn't think so, his work may hurt some people. Legal nitpicking is another issue, which I personnally do not consider the most important one, indeed. The package is currently sexist, in my opinion. I just hope that saying this loud enough will make the maintainers change their mind. If it does not, well the result will be another sexist thing in free software. I someday wish I had an opportunity to talk of this with Bruno Bellamy, by the way (the artist whose drawings are used in this package). His artwork (and good work) is widely used in the free software community in France and (personal opinion, still) may sometime ring this bell of sexism.
