I disagree. There is IMO nothing in those posters that says that women
cannot be involved in Debian unless they show deep cleavages. And the
"sex with laptops" thing is even more farfetched.
*That* is the overreaction.

I can agree to some point with the stereotyping, but that does not change
the fact that *nothing* in the posters tells people they should conform
to them.
