Hello,

Our research group is currently performing a study on the
prevalence and impact of discriminatory language in Software
Engineering artifacts and developer communications.

You have been identified as a contributor to [redacted] which is a
project we are using to investigate this topic.

We would be grateful if you could participate in our survey, which
consists of a short background questionnaire, and reviewing and
responding to a list of identified non-inclusive terms. There will also
be an opportunity to contribute to our list if you have encountered
any additional terms not included in the survey.

…

гагага

Спеціяльно витратив 5 хв щоб відповісти 'strongly disagree' по всім питанням. Про жахливі речі типу блеклістів і Мастера з його відданим слейвом я, звичайно, чув, але не знав що man hour та dummy value зараз також є дискримінаційними.

Скільки деякі люди ув Флориді мають вільного часу.

Их интересуют только согласные мнения, ваши "strongly disagree" отправят в dev/null

Всі ці С++ та Java певно дискримінаційні мови.

Йой. :)

It’s fine to refer to specific genders if the context requires it.

Women should earn the same as men for comparable work.

— А ще тут, певно, 10 год тюрми:

Women should do a comparable work to earn the same as men.

Looks like the paper was published and an excerpt is available here if anyone is interested:

I received the same email and took the same approach as the OP, but it looks like my responses may have found their way to /dev/null as well. :)
