    Same on hearing less about them.

    But I feel like putting that on most of the people here isn’t really justified.

    This is an offshoot of reddit and exists in the internet, generally. It is Hexberican Exceptionalism :very-smart: to think that this site is immune.

      It's not immune, that's why I said most. I spent like half of yesterday in a struggle session over sexist language. However, most of the posters here do know better, as evidenced by the votes on comments arguing about it.

      It definitely factors in, but the primary reason is IMO name recognition/media circus.

        Well, I never said most people were guilty, just that it's a thing. So I'm not sure what the disagreement is here.

          I just disagree with the characterisation of

          Compare the outcry about AOC’s “present” versus Jamaal Bowman’s “yes” and you’ll start finding answers.

          because it implies the main cause is sexism. But I guess we do agree. :shrug-outta-hecks:
