Women are not children, they understand and appreciate humour. You being offended on behalf of them frankly seems more insulting. This kind of hyper-sensitive attitude is what drives women away from CS, not the word "coq".

Well, it's actually women in CS being offended, and I'm merely engaging with the blockheads who refuse to acknowledge the issue.

Are there real people offended by it? Or just three Twitter users?

Quite an accusation from a sockpuppet account that has been completely dormant since 2017.

Ah yes, sockpuppet. The term people use when they have good arguments.

Look at the account, it's a classic phony, stashed away for sniping without new account green.

Do you really think I played such a long game? In any case the other commenter is right -- you shouldn't attack the person, but the argument itself.
