It should simply be "tech person". There are female founders, too.

- xdennis 4y agoBut that removes the meaning of "bro". It should be "tech sibling". Of course, "bro" is short for "brother" so maybe the best solution would be "tech sib".
- Merad 4y ago"Tech bro" isn't just a generic reference to tech founders. It refers to a particular negative stereotype of a person, usually male, who works in tech and subscribes to "bro culture." Bro culture itself usually comes from fraternity culture (as in "frat bro") and it's often associated with misogynist beliefs.
- meghan_rain 4y agoThis is literally like saying "If refers to a particular negative stereotype of a person, usually from a poor neighbour hood, usually black, usually without a father" and ascribing any kind of prejudice to it. Is this seriously the kind of discussion you want to be having?
- GlacierFox 4y agoIt literally isn't anything like saying that at all. >>Is this seriously the kind of discussion you want to be having? No, that's the discussion you'd prefer to have to detract from the actual subject of conversation in attempt to push your own agenda.
- meheleventyone 4y agoRight but “tech bro” is literally used to describe stereotype of a type of man in tech rather than all men in tech. Presumably female founders aren’t included in the same way non-bro male founders aren’t. In particular a tech bro doesn’t even have to be a founder.
