It's 2023! There's no reason we can't assume gender-neutrality of previously-gendered terms. Maybe the parent commenter finds Prashanth Chandrasekar absolutely smoking hot (despite his seeming incompetence).


If you assume gender neutrality, you're still left with the near-explicit implication that management at Stack Overflow is chosen for their sexuality. It's not at all rare to accuse management (wherever) of being chosen for something other than competence, but usually you'd be saying they are where they are for political reasons, not because they slept with someone.

This claim is unusual enough that I wanted to know if it's what my parent commenter meant.
