"exclusionary as all hell" is such an overstatement it's hard to focus on the rest of the message in this post, but the response they got from Murdoch was completely out of line.
I would also be skeptical to contribute when one of the project's leads are so quick to ban and flog a contributor, regardless of their misinformed intentions.

Though, after reading the comments, I wonder if they were perhaps already familiar with ironholds. The underlying attitude behind this change is awful. > women do not trend towards [...] an absence of concern for those not of their background. Men (particularly cis, white men) tend to.

This means "society's conditioning and understanding of what 'male' means tend to result in a condition of suck". It's toxic for everyone (including those men. Of who I count myself a member).
