Seriously, other companies and industries have already figured this out, why are tech "bros" like yourself so stupid to learn this?
If you're terrified at communicating with a woman, then learn to treat them like a human being instead of a lesser gender.

Your use of the word "nazi'" to describe Adria Richards and her ilk tells me everything I need to know about you.
