Or we could ask the question in the opposite direction - why would you use language which excluded anybody who doesn’t identify as male from the documentation for an open-source project, to the point where when someone offers to update the language for you your response is to rant about “personal politics” and write a contribution policy which forbids the use of gender-neutral language?

    It's a minor nitpick, but I think it's important; assuming the user and/or developer of the operating system is male isn't exactly the best.

    This project is not an appropriate arena to advertise your personal politics
