A good start is to call out misogyny when you see it, online or anywhere else.
This is disappointingly rare, in my experience.
Edit: what a shotgun blast of downvotes and straw men. People are lining up to say all sorts of utter bullshit. For example:
* "Where does this indicate misogyny?"
* "The paper is about GitHub, which has a reputation for the opposite."
* "A good start is to stop calling things misogyny just because you're bad at reading statistics."
* "Of course it's important to recognize when it's actual misogyny and not just disagreement with the code."
The paper's findings are clear as a fucking bell: women have equal acceptance of pull requests, except when the pull request obviously comes from a woman. Fucking TEXTBOOK misogyny, and you're an idiotic trog if you don't think so. (Looking RIGHT AT YOU here, pluma.)
