I don't understand. This guy was talking about HIS girlfriend comparing her to Maven and the perceived quirks and similarities. He was not talking about ALL girlfriends or girls in general.<p>Would there be such a massive uproar if the slide mentioned his baby daughter? Seems like the qualities of "complaining, demanding attention, interrupting while working" could easily apply to a small child regardless of gender. But no, we prefer to be particularly sensitive when he talks about his PERSONAL life, and describes his PERSONAL girlfriend and her qualities. And then we're just saying that he's suggesting that this is characteristic of all girlfriends. That's garbage.<p>Of course, the easiest thing for Atlassian to do is throw this guy under the bus saying that "immediate action will be taken". Give the guy a public forum and a decent shot to defend himself. This is getting ridiculous.
This is stupid and wastes every ones time... He was stupid for doing it (should know the climate) Atlassian was stupid. This article was stupid and I am stupid for STILL letting my humanism be exploited for click bait.<p>The whole kerfuffle is embarrassingly skewed...
