Google slammed by feminists over 'misogynistic' new product - but is it really offensive?

Article here. Excerpt:

'Google has made the humiliating decision to change the name of one of its new products over fears it would offend feminists.

Last month, the tech colossus released a program called Brotli , which compresses websites to make them load quicker.

But it made the "controversial" decision to make this new program produce files ending with the suffix ".bro".

In America, feminists use the word bro as a shorthand to refer to beer-swilling blokes whose sexism and misogyny is alleged to contribute to sexism and "rape culture".

It's also just a word men use to refer to each other.

But Google decided to change its filename for fear of offending "social justice warriors", or SJWs, who are known to lead vociferous online campaigns against anything they deem offensive or inappropriate.'
