You indicated that the above-mentioned site has some nice art work for the
PHP community. The truth is that this site has some very offensive art work
for male PHP developers who get a kick out of art that degrades women. The
"pinups" at http://www.elroubio.net/ is not what I
would call art. And, I
can't believe that php.net would endorse elroubio.net.
The truth of the matter is that for far too long web development careers
have been very difficult for women to come by due to it being a "boys game".
If you wish to recommend http://www.elroubio.net you are in
effect saying
that the status quo should remain the status quo and that women don't have a
place in the PHP community except as bimbos sporting skimpy attire
displaying their secondary sexual characteristics.
I strongly suggest that you take down the link to elroubio.net unless that
website's creator takes down his pinups.
