- theseatoms 11y ago"Bro" is gender-neutral, as far as I'm concerned.
- ksenzee 11y agoIf "bro" is gender-neutral, I'm pretty confused about that whole "bros before hoes" thing.
- theseatoms 11y ago"Prioritize your friends ahead of your sexual pursuits."
- orliesaurus 11y agoBro, Dude, Guy - there are a lot of non-dudes, bros, guys out there that get left out by using those terms. I would use Bro, dude, mate etc only with people that I know very well and are close to me in real life. Idk, maybe its just me, but we talk about trying to include everyone and then go ahead and use these terms?
- austinhutch 11y agoWhy complain at all?
- orliesaurus 11y agoIs it a complaint or a thing that caught my eye in a world dominated by white males? TBH I thought of it more as of a feedback, especially because the elixir community is in full bloom and it would be a shame to showcase a project on HN that uses that kind of language :) Then again I'm a white dude myself, but I notice things...sue me!

- acconrad 11y agoI wondered if that lack of gender-netrual naming would catch someone's eye. It was an overly-subtle attempt to lampoon the gym culture you see (e.g. BroScienceLife), but right now the 4300 gyms we have are mostly centered around the United States, so if you are missing gyms in your location feel free to let me know a general location you'd like me to add gyms and I can help you out and add some manually.
