I would say being more inclusive is bringing value.

There's a massive issue with women being under-represented in STEM and little things like this only further cement that.

It's casual sexism. I'm not suggesting they are intentionally hating on women.

Assuming it's a man because it's programming is fundamentally sexist.

What downsides would they be?

The downside is the time taken.
