Google's .bro file format changed to .br after gender bother
Found on The Register on Monday, 12 October 2015
The reason for the change is threads like this one, in which posters suggest that “'bro' has a gender problem” and “comes of[f] misogynistic and unprofessional due to the world it lives in.”
To many, “bro”, just means brother. To others, the word's been adopted as a prefix in the term ““brogrammer” that denotes macho programmers who bring sexist attitudes into the workplace and make life difficult for women in technology-heavy workplaces.
Seriously, people have issues with something as pointless as a file extension? Next on the list: HTML because the M might be mistaken for "male" and the command line utility unzip.
