I guess this thread now only serves as a lesson in "political" 
writing.

Karabuta wanted to discuss that "the social media representation 
of D sucks". Unfortunately, he opened his post with a question 
for "female programmers using D". Even the title is "Females in 
the community". The discussion derailed into sexism and whatnot.

I would advice Karabuta (or anyone else) to make another 
top-level post without any references to gender, if you want to 
discuss social media.

The only women I noticed in the D community is Maxime [0]. She 
built a research Javascript compiler with D for her PhD and now 
joined Apple. Maybe we should ask her, if there are issues 
concerning women and the D community?
