I don't think the work that Python/Django people are doing to get more women involved in the community can be easily ignored.

In 8 years they have got 1 woman involved in a core capacity to their community. I'm not asking for immediate results, I'm just asking for them to lead by example and to stop criticizing people who are doing a much better job at being inclusive than they are. They have a 3% rate, YC has a 15% rate of women.
