> why is the term "bro" instead of "hoe"?

Because the vast majority of programmers are men, hence we use men related adjectives/words. These things describe stereotypes, there is no "tech hoe" stereotype as far as I can tell

Same reason why in France we say "infirmieres" (feminine) to say nurse although the neutral should be "infirmiers" (masculine): because 85%+ nurses are women

> Clearly "tech bro" is misandrist.

Yet no one ever complained about it ever

American reading way to much into these gender stuff should be an Olympic sport

Pretty sure people complain about it in every single HN thread that uses the term

Can we find a smaller and more biased sample ?
