I had really hoped this would be an uncontroversial suggestion...

It might be useful to provide a link in case others want to take a look at
the debate as well:

https://github.com/EthicalSource/contributor_covenant/pull/548

I've said everything there I'd say now if I were to argue back, and I really
don't want to argue about this on a Guix ML anyway, so I'll leave it to the
maintainers to decide what to do.  Just one remark for them: most women I
know would think twice before spending time trying to get into a community
whose rules intentionally don't acknowledge sex-based discrimination.
