Garrett LeSage on Nostr: Reminder that nobody should be using "mom" or "grandma" or "girlfriend" as a generic ...
Reminder that nobody should be using "mom" or "grandma" or "girlfriend" as a generic non-technical person example. It is hugely problematic and sexist (and can even be ageist too for "grandma").
This is *especially* important to keep in mind in communities where there's already a huge bias of boys and men (like FOSS, gaming, and tech in general).
