> Uh oh! The data scientist isn't up to date on the trends in gender studies and critical theory, better send her off to sensitivity training!

The problem here wasn't that the data scientist was asking the wrong questions, it's that they were upset by someone stepping and offering an improved set of questions, and felt the need to complain to a manager instead of responding.

The Github management's decision of asking the author _never to communicate with this person again_ is even more bewildering.

We don't see any of the correspondence other than the one small portion quoted, so it is entirely possible that something more confrontational was said.
