I think you're grossly putting your own political viewpoint on this non-issue and frankly accusing someone of sexism based pro-nouns used in documentation.
This is ridiculous. I can read documentation with "he" I can read it with "her". I am adult enough to know it's talking about a hypothetical reader.
Fighting a culture war at every corner is just furthering the toxic environment we all live in.

- flumpcakes 2y agoThis is absolutely ridiculous take. If true, I'm not sure how any work gets done in America.

- naught0 2y agoIf it's such a non-issue and doesn't indicate the predilections of the author, why not change it to be neutral? Where is the harm? Isn't being more inclusive on an open source project better? It seems the author is taking an explicitly political stance by vehemently opposing something as simple as neutral pronouns in a README.
