If you give a flying > fuck about diversity, and want to attract women to your open source The f word is considered highly offensive in some cultures. Granted its use is now far more spread than it used to be, but it seems interesting to me that you of all people use a word which I personally would never use at all, much less in front of a woman. Sounds like a contradiction to me, especially when you use it while arguing for a more civil discussion. Do you think you need to use that word to make a point ? If so, why do you want to take that right away from others ?
