It may seem like a cute easter egg, but the sandwich example relies on a sexist trope with a good bit of history implying women are subservient and belong in the kitchen — seeing as drush is such a standard tool that many developers use, and that Drupal's foundation and expansion has been accompanied by a huge community of female developers, the joke isn't worth it.

This isn't about safe spaces or censorship. This is about not forcing women developers to see something fostered by a "men's club" culture that is still very real and prevalent in the industry.

Seems like a reasonable request, I'm sure it was totally innocuous but worth removing all connection to 'make me a sandwich'. Sound like a plan?

@kalpaitch Yeah, that seems like the best course of action. It's just really frustrating to be alienated (even seemingly low-key) from dev communities as a new female dev whose workplace is migrating to Drupal :( Thanks for understanding!
