When I read the grandparent comment and saw the (uncommon) use of the female pronoun in the story describing a negative action, I instantly thought of this type of response. I'll admit it, I even had the impulse to make a throwaway and troll and say something like the parent comment just to see the reaction. (I figured it would be swiftly downvoted/greyed).
Despite my own impulse to troll, I truly can't tell if this comment, and others like it which are not hard to find here, are performance art of the reductio ad absurdum kind, a sort of Andy Kaufman-esque "triggered SJW" act, or if this ascribing of every phenomenon to some type of systemic inequity no matter how farcical is a real part of the zeitgeist now.
I'll admit my bias: I'm tired of oversensitivity and bucketing everything into these overly broad categories of discrimination. I like to be able to use whatever (third-person) pronouns I want in my stories, etc. However, I have always thought that the "triggered overreeacting SJW" archetype was mainly a boogeyman created by immature people at the opposite of the spectrum, the type who frequent r/theDonald or breitbart or what have you.
After seeing these types of comments here so consistently, however, I cannot be sure!
In fairness, I don’t think the parent comment is a criticism of GP, just a complaint about how women in tech are treated in general.
