Last time that I can recall a project containing "bro" in its title was on here, it was derided for excluding women and discouraging them from entering the tech

  I think you're right, and if so these are some pretty lazy people doing the flagging. This project clearly has nothing to do with any modern connotations for the word "bro."

  I helped employ women over men, when I saw that they were eager to learn. The reasons for that were simple, I believe that diversity helps to increase the efficiency of a team and that large monolithic,hierarchical,homogenic teams should be abandoned. Why are people so sensitive about some words? I thought I can't understand until I heard about the word "no-homo" last week. THAT was the most absurd word I've heard in my lifetime. As a kid I had zero problems kissing my best friend (on the cheek), regardless of sex and I'm straight. There's nothing wrong about it, but "normal is relative and time-variying". When I was in the position to scan and choose between many hundreds of job applications and even on a mid-sized start-up, where only a few applications went in. No I am NOT a HR Person, absolutely not, but they asked me to do it, so I did that too. EDIT: Not sure why this earned a downvote, but to your information there is no law forcing companies to let a % of women in for example (in the country I live).
