Yes, all people need to see themselves represented in a community, in an area of interest, and see themselves being included and treated respectfully. And as a white, straight male, I need to be active in promoting it and participating in it.

And are there things you notice in the design of an operating system or a desktop environment (like Linux Lite, or others) that 'assumes maleness,' that you wish were more considerate of non-male users?
I heard about Linux, the whole world of alternative OSes, hacking, making, from childrens stories, they added these in to stories under different names. When I grew older I asked if they were about Linux. Later I was behind the wall, I remembered some or changed them. Stories of freedom, and some rage stories about the establishment and system at the start, these ideas changed over time.
Later I was asked to join a project, one of the tasks they set me was to encourage others from my community to join. There I seen Linux Lite. My first thoughts. This is what freedom looks like. I am home.

My question is, what parts (knowing each distribution is different) do you consider more aimed at males? This information would help me and probably any other developer. Another question, is it programs or themes that are effecting a sort of negative attitude? Any criticism is constructive.

When changing About at the top of menu it changes the login box image, it could be nicer if it also changed the About icon in ALL category of the menu.
