Now, now, meeera. Do not be so hasty in rushing to conclusions.
Please allow for the possibility that this could be an innocent mistake rather than a deliberately sexist salutation. English may not be the poster's native tongue.
Claudio, DRM can be contentious - if you search this forum you will find many very long discussions on the subject. Simply put: DRM will not prevent copying by anyone cares to go to the effort, however, it will prevent accidental and casual copying by those that know no better, do not care, or can't be bothered removing the DRM. The latter, despite how it may appear in the arguments here on MobileRead, is most probably the vast majority of your potential readers.
Personally, I distribute my books without DRM*. I choose this because I don't want to discourage anyone from giving my work a try, not even those relative few that object to the presence DRM. My experience has been that the most difficult part of publishing is actually attracting an audience, so I remove as many impediments as I can.
* Note that some retailers will add DRM anyway.
