I'm sorry, but declining a fully baked PR with "This project is not an appropriate arena to advertise your personal politics." is sexism. Any woman working for him in the future will 100% hand that to her employment lawyer if she is fired.

This is absolutely ridiculous take. If true, I'm not sure how any work gets done in America.

Meanwhile the "flagged" comment is thoughtful, engaged, and not remotely insulting. Interesting.

If it's such a non-issue and doesn't indicate the predilections of the author, why not change it to be neutral? Where is the harm? Isn't being more inclusive on an open source project better?
It seems the author is taking an explicitly political stance by vehemently opposing something as simple as neutral pronouns in a README.
This is ridiculous. I can read documentation with "he" I can read it with "her". I am adult enough to know it's talking about a hypothetical reader.
Fighting a culture war at every corner is just furthering the toxic environment we all live in.
