I find it interesting that I was just about to read this article: 
https://www.thestar.com/opinion/commentary/2017/08/15/boys-and-men-must-do-the-right-thing-it-will-save-female-lives.html 
when I noticed Monty posted and wanted to read what he had to say.

I still wonder what it will take for leaders in this tech community to 
hold themselves to some sort of account when deciding what language to 
use in work situations.

I am not of the opinion that Monty was advocating violence towards 
anyone. But I do feel the article makes a strong point in that language 
choice matters and normalizing violence is unhealthy if we want to reach 
our stated goals of beneficial gender interactions, including those 
where gender is not front of mind in the interaction.

As for the issue of databases, I hope for Morgan's wellbeing a solution 
can be found.

Thank you,
Anita.
