i removed this test case from C# as it went against the specifications.

The description now does. The title can only be changed in the kata editor, and most people are allergic to that.

The texts are not changed. The discussion is over for me at this point. If you want, you are welcome to use these vault katas as a base for your own katas. Have a nice day. (@dfhwze: Thank you very much for your comment.)

Kees, now you are the one using stereotypes, which is exactly the thing you are blaming the other of doing ;-) Anyway, there are different cultures, each with their own values. Who are we to push our values onto others ... This is exactly why I find the original comment by dlcoe misplaced. It's virtue signaling and does not add anything useful to a programming challenge.

Three years later, this topic is so hot that even I noticed the bias here. I can't say for sure, but looking at the description this might be uploaded by an Eastern European alpha male. They have indeed a bit old fashioned ideas about gender (identity), relationships (male/ female, that's it), sexual preference and pronouns, preferred or not.
Give it another few centuries and they'll turn around. ;-)

Changing the specs on a kata with almost 22k solves isn't going to happen. For what it's worth I agree with you, but it's too late to change them now.

The description layout is also perfectly fine in the way it presents the problem in my opinion.

this is the stupidest suggestion for this kata yet....

You missed an opportunity to rant on "Mankind" there.

😒

I should have forked from your solution, as I took that one as a starting point to come up with this one.

I completely agree with the point made here.
While the description no longer contains sexist content, the method name did strike me as very sexist.

Lol?! Why is the user 'dlcoe' allowed to write something that stupid and even writing about "agressions" experienced by women (?!?!?!) just because it is unable to correctly understand a text? This makes me feel very uncomfortable (and I am pretty sure I'm not the only one...). Such frustrations should have no place 'on the path to software development'.

Then why did 90 people still took the time to solve this Kata? Solving a Kata with such a bad description just enables future Kata's with low quality like this.

Yes, it's a bit more complicated ;)
