Reviewer - Gendered language #7

Open joenash opened 7 years ago

Students frequently use gendered language in submissions and comments where it is not needed. In many cases, this is due to language barriers. Prefect should support the growth of inclusivity in the community by catching these instances, and providing an explanation as to why it's uninclusive, and alternatives.

Examples:

Is this intended for GH comments or exercises?

@BlueHatbRit both. It's particularly common in module 1s

I think we should not have prefect attempt this for module 2 - because it's often stories about people and includes their gender - and module 3, 4 and 5 because those also may contain mentions to genuine gendered people.
