    > I don't want to continue allowing an online environment with such an absurdly skewed gender representation. I find it intensely unwelcoming, and it's not reflective of the type of working environments I value.

    That's the totality of the message.

    Weirdly enough, the concept of "an environment I don't personally find welcoming is unwelcoming — and better gone" strikes me as rather unwelcoming and indicative of a diet in severe need of iron-y supplementation.

    I personally treat it as a supply chain risk, as there are no longer any way to report any bugs and security problems.

      How is _your_ supply chain a concern of this open source developer?

        _My_ supply chain is not a big deal, lol. But this is HTTPX. A network library that has a considerable number of users.

        When I say _considerable_, I'm essentially saying _nearly every_ big tech. The one I can tell for sure is OpenAI (not a fan of them though).

        Remember xz attack?

      Then why not provide one yourself?

        Forking is a good option for companies, but not a good option for sole developers: one doesn't have that much energy.

        Switching to other libraries like requests and aiohttp and supporting them by contributing is clearly a better option.

    absurdly skewed gender representation, actually! :)
