> Second off, if mild gender stereotypes are worth so much hate you might as well cancel every sitcom on TV. Many people (including, of course, feminists) do indeed think that virtually every sitcom on TV is unacceptably sexist. And while I don't know that the slide justifies "hate," I do think that it justifies widespread criticism since it perpetuates an unfortunate pattern of gender discrimination in the industry. (Or, if you prefer, it perpetuates an unfortunate pattern of complaining and arguing about gender discrimination. Even if you think that there is no gender discrimination in tech, it seems like you ought to agree that inviting that critique is itself a mistake.) And, no, I don't think it's presumable that he is just referring to a specific person since everything he lists is, as you note, a well worn gender stereotype.
