I am pretty sure that this is not something systematic. I know women not feeling this way as you because OpenStreetMap is an open and welcoming community.

Please allow me to just get to 90% of the replies people will send,
they are a mix of these:

1. Can you provide more evidence, all the evidence and incidents
already created are not good enough or I can not be bothered to look
for them?

2. Please do my research for me, I can not be bothered to learn what
systemic issues surround inclusion, diversity and equity globally!

3. This does not affect me or I do not understand it, I am not sure
which, but it is not a problem. Prove me wrong.

4. I know other people who feel another way, so it is not a problem.
Prove me wrong.

Thank you to everyone who does _not_ reply with one of these! I look
forward to working with you!

Best wishes,
Blake
