Aw I wish they had used “they” instead of “he” so I could put this up at work. But… accurate

Edit: the kind reactions here have changed this comic from one that would remind me of nasty to one that will remind me of nice when I see it. It’s going up.

We’re not on Reddit any more, see below for proof.

Your work doesn't know about males?

Why can't it say he? Don't understand...

So female developers only share jokes about female developers? Whats the point of that? Gender is irrelevant in this community of programmers.

You're asking why it can't say "he"

I am saying that using that pronoun makes the meme exclusive when it isn't specifically about male developers

The OP doesn't want to share this meme as it is because they presumably have female developers in their team

So you think we should have gender neutral memes now, or have separate sections for male and female memes where we only joke about our own gender?

How about female devs share memes about both males and females, and male devs do the same? Or is that too simple and we need to make it ridiculous? :)

It is quite that simple :)

Well you have the right to your opinion :)
