Unfair. Equating the feminine with sensitivity is a subtle form of bigotry in its own right.
I object to the logo because it looks like it's drawn by a five-year-old, it's garish and ugly, it's on the homepage of the docs twice and one is very large, and why a butterfly exactly? Ruby has a ruby, Python a snake, Raku a butterfly, Wikipedia says Raku is a type of Japanese pottery. For some reason it reminds me of the artwork in Dora the Explorer I used to watch with my kid (which I'm _okay_ with in that context I feel I have to stress).
Take a look at:

Even Scratch, which is aimed at kids learning programming, is more subdued and less childish:
