Thank you for making clear arguments.  I believe there is disagreement
with some core points.

GNU projects should be feminist, because losing contributors, users
and advocates because of toxic behavior harms free software.  This is
not unrelated politics.  It is very important.

IMHO it would be sad to lose the support of RMS who continues to do so
much for GNU.  Endorsing RMS as the GNU Project=E2=80=99s leader could be=
 seen
as endorsing bad behavior though which harms the GNU operating system.

I thank the GNU maintainers for their stance and am sorry for
prolonging this discussion even though all arguments were already
given somewhere before.

Regards,
Florian
