their explanation: it's "gendered and not inclusive"

"hacker" isn't gendered.

> 1. A person who enjoys exploring the details of programmable systems and how to stretch their capabilities, as opposed to most users, who prefer to learn only the minimum necessary.

My daughter will be a hacker if she wants to follow in her old mans footsteps. Please don't take that away from her.

And what's wrong with husband? Or housekeeping?

How am I supposed to talk about my husband doing the housekeeping?

"My Man Spouse is doing the domestic science"

Not sure about housekeeping but husband is gendered so I assume that is the "problem".

That seems like they don’t understand the word. I can’t think of many more communities more inclusive than hackers. It’s certainly not gendered either.

Are all gendered words banned?

Oh boy! No having cash cows or taking bullshit, or taking a gander, or goosing the numbers, etc., etc.

What the hell happened to us?!
