While I’ve not seen all of the context regarding the related gender considerations; the initial response that started it was patronizing and detatched from the actual comment itself (as I read them and reread them) and presented in a manner that is not normally how most such interactions are conducted with male developers. Coded language plays a big part in these interactions and people unaccustomed to being on the receiving end of such language can easily overlook what someone else may consider a slight.

Intended or not, intention doesn’t change the result. I mean, no one would talk to Jeff Kaplan like that. Though he’d just roast you anyway.
