Unfortunately, I'm not surprised about that comment you received. I've seen so many similar ones here in Dev and other platforms as well, and it feels like the amount of such comments increases every year :/ And funny thing about that comment you received is that there have been many studies which have showed time and time again that womxn struggle significantly more in tech because of bias, their PR's get rejected in open source communities more easily if their gender is identified, and they (we) need to prove ourselves more often than men.

I was tempted lecture him, but I quickly realized that would be free labor, something womxn should avoid when dealing with immature men.

💯 I love that comment! That's so perfectly said!
