Does anyone else think the title is sexist by today's standards?
It's kinda nerdy and very clickbait-ish but sexist? Probably not, but who am I to judge. Old, white and male means I am not entitled to any opinion on such matters, by today's standards.

I think it's a pop culture reference Andi don't think it is sexist.

It's a stupid title. Connecting the concept to a movie was unnecessary. But it's not any more sexist than making a movie called (and about) Mean Girls in the first place...

Would you like to elaborate how? Or are you just being pre-emptively offended on someone else's behalf?
"Davies et al. (2002) showed that women experience stereotype threat when they are reminded of existing stereotypes about women in television advertising. In this study, participants watched commercials in which women were very excited about buying cosmetic products or trying a new baking recipe. After watching these commercials, women performed worse on a math test compared with men who watched the same commercials and compared with women who watched gender-neutral commercials."

It seems like a decent way to engage women in the content of the article to me. I think that is one of the aims, and why not? The article was written by a woman after all.

Be honest, what was your very first thought?
Kindness may be referring to higher kinded types and for mean girls probably just forced lingo to refer to people who don't take kindly to functional programming and types.
