Are we really complaining about gendered pronouns in source code notes for a web browser?

Is that what we are doing?

There are mountains of bigger fish to fry, y’all. Social change doesn’t happen overnight. It can take decades or longer.

Widespread language changes have historically taken decades or even centuries to occur.
