Change Multiple Gender-Biased Terms #12

Closed groundcat closed 1 month ago

groundcat commented 1 month ago

First off, I want to say your config guidelines are very useful. Thanks for putting in all that effort. I've got a couple of suggestions:

Proposed Changes

  1. "Girlfriend Test", "Grandma Test"

    • The term "girlfriend test" and the link to the Urban Dictionary page for "Grandma Test" are biased and offensive.
    • How About: Replace "girlfriend test" with "user-friendliness test" or "accessibility test" to maintain neutrality.
  2. Device Names such as Wife's iPhone

    • Referring to "wife's iPhone" assumes a lot about who uses what.
    • How About: Using "partner" or "spouse" makes it clear we’re simply talking about anyone’s device.

Fun fact, a "grandma" I know actually holds a degree in Electrical Engineering and has a deep understanding of DNS, having implemented infras on a national level in the 80s, some of which is still in use today.

Thanks for considering these changes
