That's about the score. "Bro$suffix" is generally perjorative for "college-age male douchebag".

I fell out my chair laughing when I read your comment.

I think it was sexist, but they did say women should apply too. It's hard to spin that one, but I see it as an honest mistake, these guys are obviously new to the "real world".
