> why is the term "bro" instead of "hoe"?

Because the vast majority of programmers are men, hence we use men related adjectives/words. These things describe stereotypes, there is no "tech hoe" stereotype as far as I can tell

Same reason why in France we say "infirmieres" (feminine) to say nurse although the neutral should be "infirmiers" (masculine): because 85%+ nurses are women

> Clearly "tech bro" is misandrist.

Yet no one ever complained about it ever

American reading way to much into these gender stuff should be an Olympic sport

Can we find a smaller and more biased sample ?
