Description Reinout van Schouwen 2005-07-11 08:52:20 UTC 
It's not really clear to me whether this issue can be called a bug. But the
default user icon, a guy with a beard, is clearly male. I wonder what message
that sends to our female audience. Shouldn't the icon be more gender-neutral?
Comment 1 Teppo Turtiainen 2005-07-28 18:12:08 UTC 
I think these bugs are about the same icon.
