Mostly I have done so. I only clarify this:
A hint for next time you join #debian-women: starting by not
questioning the
validity of our existence will probably mean you get a friendlier
discussion,
if that is what you desire.
When joining #debian-women, I started by asking for the location of
the IRC FAQ because I had a dead link. I did not ask anything even
remotely about validity of your existence as a start, so your "hint"
is misleading. The first accusations of me being incapable were made
before asking another question, too, IIRC. I should have recognised
then that #debian-women is nastier than any debian channel I've used
before, but did not.
