So, we have enough issues with improving women's place in STE. It's not like we need to invent new ways to keep technology male.

I've helped different women with less experience in commandline stuff and linux/unix in general. In the workplace, and with tutoring middle/high school kids of both genders.

If I ever had to say "go check the manpage, and the bropage" I would feel like a huge asshole.

>>mscarb+(OP)
Why is the "man" page somehow better?

>>LinXit+r4
It's at least short for manual.

>>LinXit+r4
Because a shortening of "Manual" is not gendered. "Bro" is.

>>Fomite+db
This isn't an answer. It's still a reminder of genderedness just as much as bro is. The word "niggardly" is offensive to some because of its similarity to the n-word. That doesn't make its offense less real.

>>hackin+vI
Intent, and context, matters.

>>Fomite+811
Isn't this whole argument about that people can feel excluded regardless of intent/context?

>>LinXit+r4
Because of context.

I know that's lost on a lot of people here, but it's pretty important when considering things like this.
