> For example, western PL designers might disregard cultural aspects of non-Western languages, like non-English numerals There is a reason why even in native Arabic¹ or Thai² communication Western "Arabic" numerals are used ... deliberately.

There is only a single irrelevant reference to Python - I mean, practically thinking: what should be changed about Python to make it more "feminist"? Java, JavaScript, Rust, C++ aren't mentioned even once ... wouldn't it make sense to make the point clear by providing concrete examples of what is not satisfying about the status quo? Or is it maybe that there is no point to the question to begin with? 1: https://www.aljazeera.net/ebusiness/2025/6/5/countries-largest-sheep https://www.aljazeera.net/ebusiness/2025/6/5/countries-large... 2: https://www.thairath.co.th/news/crime/2862747 https://www.thairath.co.th/news/crime/2862747
