I find it sad that this has happened, sexism in technology is a problem but this sort of this is people taking offence at the most ridiculous things.
Does it matter that the example he used was explaining REST to his wife? If the roles had been reversed would be in the position we are now?
Gender roles within technology wasn't the point of the original post, it was about explaining a piece of complicated technology to someone who had no prior understanding of it, it was circumspect that the person being explained to was a woman.
Again I find it sad that if the gender roles were reversed or if the other people was male that we probably would not be in this position as no one would object to a man explaining to another man about some technology that he does not under, is that sexism?
