> some girl did not know how to free up disk space

Would you reconsider this wording, so that we can focus on your story rather than a flippant mention of their gender?

“Some girl” is definitely not nice phrasing and only furthers gender stereotypes.

I read the same post and I only focussed on the story and flippant mention on gender never crossed my mind until you brought it up..


Please consider that this may be a personal problem you have. (maybe some self reflection is in order?) I didn't find the statement problematic at all.


What would you suggest to be a suitable rephrasing?
