  1. Part of the issue is a language barrier: Matched.io's team is primarily German according to LinkedIn. There seems to be some lack of linguistic nuance at work on the choice of words.

  2. Interestingly, German as a language is far more gendered than English, with gendered article and noun forms)

  3. "It would be easier if you just chill" is rarely a good answer to the representation of women in personal or professional arenas.
