Evidence. I would like to see evidence that Debian has not been giving

The fact that our male / female participation ratio is much lower than even
the gender split in IT, let alone the wider community should be enough.

That isn't evidence at all.  All that demonstrates is that males and
females have fundamentally different interests.

Of course, the men-should-have-tits-and-give-birth crowd has dedicated
themselves to denying this for the past 50 years.

Just because it doesn't say "no wheelchairs" at the door, doesn't mean those
stairs aren't going to be a pain in the arse to get up.

He asked you for constructive feedback.  Don't assume there are stairs
preventing the wheel-chaired person from getting onto the basketball
court; SHOW THEM to us.  The fact that few wheel-chaired people are into
playing basketball with normal people doesn't mean that the gymnasium is
discriminating against them.
