I suppose it's not up for discussion (since it's offtopic) that I find this mindset strange, it feels more like segregation rather than inclusivity, "I want to watch tutorials only made by my group."... Then again, looking "Emacs tutorial" on YouTube I re-encountered a particular weird character I saw before, he's got a homepage where he solicits Patreon donations to ask him a question, he does YouTube streams where maybe 5 people show up where he talks about what you'd expect a "neckbeard nerd" to talk about, he seems to have been unable to find employment for many years, and he's also talked about women in weird way. I would not want my daughter to learn Emacs from him.

Well, yes, I think it is off-topic. I'm just trying to reach an audience that might be turned off by the options that I found available. Just look at it as marketing 101, not culture war.

  I can't resist to comment: this is either you being condesending (maybe the women would be fine watching tutorials by men too, I can't believe all the men would be turn offs), or these women actually need to be coddled, which then the maybe term snowflake would be appropriate. I think I'm pretty sane, but wahey, what an odd odd world I've grown old in if your request is deemed normal. Well your post got flagged to death (wasn't me!), I guess if you had made it clearer it was marketing not "culture war" in the first place it would've worked better.
