Did I ever say that you can’t state your opinion?
We don’t really care about our brand if basic human decency is the price to be paid for it.
Taking offense when “she” is used, but not batting an eyelid when “he” is used in the same place (which is done everywhere) is not a characteristic we care for.
Do you know if i never batted an eye when “he” was used as a gender neutral pronoun ? , why’d you call him a chauvinist for stating that fact and how could you possibly allege that i have never batted an eye when “he” was used as a gender neutral pronoun ? Instead of clarifying the OPs doubts you started name calling.
Ah yes, of course, that super common phenomenon of a guy flipping out and creating an entire thread because “he” was used as a gender-neutral word! How could I forget that!!
well i don’t see any girl flipping out because “she” was used here either , so that’s that.
What i see is some admin of a huge company for students justifying something.
Well what I feel is @admin could have simply said that it was some mistake from their end instead of arguing over here. Shows the maturity! Also I do not have any problem be it anything.
We do consider “he” as gender neutral because we know there are literally no one out there who will just conduct some competition for only guys. Where as we all know about various competitions just for Girl-candidates. Not against it, but you should specify it as he/she and if you are wrong somewhere then do accept instead of googling how to prove yourself correct. Peace out!
I agree with it, the use of ‘she’ with reference to a 9-year-old post clearly signifies you want to correct yourself in any possible way. There is no one who is having a problem with the exclusive hiring of girls candidates(perfectly normal). The person who wrote this post is an individual with his/her opinions but you speak for the entire CodeChef. Maybe little maturity would help
@why_always_tle, I agree that admin could have phrased it better, but regarding to CodeChef generalizing the intern as “she”, I can’t seem to find something wrong with it. The only reason why misunderstandings happened is OP’s immaturity and inability to comprehend the meaning and usage of the word “she”. Other than that, I don’t seem to find anything wrong with the document.
@admin Codechef doesn’t have to associate with you (the person behind these posts) too. For that matter: or with me, but it does - if you think that’s a mistake, I’m the guy responsible for statement quality, explain why over e-mail to me and other relevant people. Don’t be an asshole, you passive-aggressive asshole.
You could have simply said that it’s not intended as a female-only position and the choice of pronoun to use is a language quirk. Short factual explanation for a misunderstanding, end of discussion on clear terms. Even better would be to avoid any arguments over pronouns and write “who will help develop”, but that’s beside the point.
