I agree, of course, I just don't think that the best area to focus
ones constructive suggestions is currently centered around Billy Jean
King dolls with glued-on horns when so many more obviously pressing
technical problems exist.  To put it another way, if I'm thinking of
taking FreeBSD into more profitable directions then the very last
thing I'm going to be worried about is the gender of the mascot when
I'm still not sure what the technical support infrastructure is going
to look like or how to even word the support contracts so that neither
customer nor company is left unduly exposed (just to name a few such
issues - the list goes on).

You're probably right, but that still does not negate the fact that
any and all christian secretaries so offended are always free and
encouraged to line up and kiss my white hiney any time they please.
