I think the other feature of these two camps is that they tend to see the opposition through the mirror of their own preconceptions. I took the pull request rejection at face value: "trivial change; denied". I don't agree with the policy, but I did not sense any overt anti-gender-parity agenda in the action.
That the author of the pull request viewed this action as a militant attack tells me, with some measure of certainty, to which camp they belong.
