<div>Dear all,
<div class="">Do you know of any studies of gendered language in computing? I’m intrigued by the way today’s engineers throw around words like “motherboard” and “daughterboard”, and also “master” and “slave”, without being aware of how those words sound to
non-engineers (like me). I’d be interested in learning about historical or sociological studies. </div>
