He 'shouldn't' do anything. Stupid people purposely avoid the most obvious meaning of the title just to show off their morality.

I hate when the political correctness police jump on person for being slightly, unintentionally politically incorrect.

It's obvious the guy that wrote these articles isn't trying to trigger anyone, so can we all just not get triggered?

Well I hope you are not equating the discussion happening in this thread with the 'political correctness police jumping on someone'. The only discussion happening here seems to be about whether it is appropriate or not. No one is suggesting that the author be punished or admonished for it.

It seems like a very valid thing to discuss, and suggesting that people might be 'triggered' for even bringing it up only serves to undermine a legitimate discussion on it.

No one here seems emotionally distraught by the author's words. Rather, all of the discussions about the inappropriateness of the remarks seem to be pitched in a constructive and explanatory way, without regard to whether they were offended by them or not.

No one is suggesting that the author be punished or admonished for it.

The ancestor comments by andendau and dopu are admonishing him for it.

>Why not novice instead of your girlfriend? You don't even mention her in the articles so why cling to a distracting title?

>He should change it. Regardless of the intention, this is how it will be interpreted.

Seems more like an advisement than an admonishment. Perhaps I should have said no one is rebuking them for it.

Either way, I don't see this as the 'political correctness police jumping on them'. It's not like people are organizing a lynch mob for the author.

This isn't about "showing off morality." It's about making the tech community welcoming to people of all genders. Your attitude is part of the reason that doing so is so difficult.

What about an article by a woman entitled:

"Elementary school unions explained to my husband"

Would that make you feel like the education community is unwelcoming of all genders?

[SomeStupidPoint]

Doesn't the education community struggle with exactly this problem, perception, and male parental involvement in general?

I know dads feel excluded because a number of educational things specifically mention moms.

[teddyh]

Yes, it would; and I as understand it, it is.

Right now it doesn't seem very welcoming to people with non-technical girlfriends that are curious about machine learning.
