Slightly off-topic, "open up the kimono" sounds disturbing and creepy to me as an Asian. I suspect I'm not alone in this.

I'm not sure how I've been in tech since before this article was written and today is the first time I've ever even seen/heard this phrase.

Is this phrase worth an entire long form blog post from NPR?

Honestly, why not? I love reading about etymologies and I know that many people here do as well.

That’s even better. I do think it’s disturbing and creepy when someone goes through my private data without my knowledge.

That's not what they meant or what the phrase means. It's mildly racist and misogynist, and the kinds of discomfort it elicits are not the kind that will make people trust you, the user of the phrase.

Not talking about
anything
, talking about one specific idiom. Are you trying to assert that the idiom is not racist or misogynistic at all?
