I feel very strongly that these types of discussions do not belong in Debian.
There are many good causes in the world and much disagreement about what they
are.  For Debian to succeed, it needs to focus on producing a quality software
distribution.  Discussions about tangentially related controversial topics, no
matter how good the cause may be, doesn’t result in any benefit to those causes
but does result in harm to Debian.  The animosity in the previous email is
representative of this (I have only quoted one of the paragraphs above because
I do not find the tone of the message appropriate for a Debian mailing list).

I discussed about my thoughts on general causes in a previous mail.

But there are some topics like gender issues that are relevant to Debian. Debian is not just an operating system. It is also a community, one which declares its positive stand regarding diversity. If one does not want to participate in such discussions, they are free to not involve. But when participating, everyone should ensure that the communication is respectful to all and there is no CoC violation.
