What are you talking about? Male? Is the author female? I honestly have no idea who the author is. But I don’t care if the author is male or female. Condescending is condescending.

I read this as a dev war story, and as a person venting.

I would have the same condescending sarcastic attitude while doing it if I was venting too.

I also know a lot of people who like my sarcasm when talking about topics like this, so yeah as a guy who very much gets's where the author is coming from I agree this seems like a double standard.
