When someone gives you that emotionless stare, it means not only is you comment not funny, it's not really socially acceptable.
Linux users are not all male, or all straight, or single. Outside of incel groups, most groups aren't (probably even they have members who secretly aren't!) 😃

Which sucks, because tech needs women. Badly.
The first step will be for more and more of tech management to actually confront their misogyny. And not just the obvious stuff like this, but also subtle stuff like how women's professional performances are often seen as worse when not blinded.
There is lots to fix. Including the pipe line of Linux devs into the industry.
sorry you have to deal with that. fwiw i cringe when that happens.
