Someone who is upset enough about being being called out for using gendered language that they post a complaint about the interaction, on hacker news, I would bet real money that the OP is a straight male.

I would also bet that the straight male would say "no" to the question "do you fuck guys?"

Your take asserts that words are essentially static in their meaning regardless of usage.

It's exactly like the evolution of the term 'bitch'. Its origins are gendered but its predominant application now has nothing to do with canine sex or mean women.
