Aw I wish they had used “they” instead of “he” so I could put this up at work. But… accurate

Edit: the kind reactions here have changed this comic from one that would remind me of nasty to one that will remind me of nice when I see it. It’s going up.

We’re not on Reddit any more, see below for proof.

Thank you!

Your work doesn’t know about males?

Why can’t it say he? Don’t understand…

Female developers exist

So female developers only share jokes about female developers? Whats the point of that? Gender is irrelevant in this community of programmers.

You’re asking why it can’t say “he”

I am saying that using that pronoun makes the meme exclusive when it isn’t specifically about male developers

The OP doesn’t want to share this meme as it is because they presumably have female developers in their team

So you think we should have gender neutral memes now, or have separate sections for male and female memes where we only joke about our own gender?

How about female devs share memes about both males and females, and male devs do the same? Or is that too simple and we need to make it ridiculous? :)

God forbid a woman shares a meme about a male dev! We can’t have that disaster happen…:)

It is quite that simple :)

Well you have the right to your opinion :)

Or people could not assume programmers are male. If I fixed it and put it up, I’d be reminded of that every time I looked at it. We get enough people reminding us we don’t belong, we don’t need to remind ourselves.

Most programmers are male, but probably because it’s a hostile environment for women. We shouldn’t assume, of course.

Your numbers are thin but growing. You belong.

You’re kind. Thanks for taking the time to say that.

The top part is useless anyway, it’s funnier if you just crop off the header… that’s just one of those things people slap on so they can feel like they’ve contributed something, but really it’s just noise.

Alternatively, just use this one instead:
