That attitude doesn't help the cause of women in tech. It makes things worse.

Machines don't have empathy. They do not care about feelings. Code is harsh. So are professional code reviewers. Therefore if you're a programmer, you will in fact spend a lot of time dealing with nitpicking issues, finding sources for claims you make, debating alternative theories and so on.

If women can't even do that in debates they start then they should give up in being programmers. They won't make it and they won't get along with their colleagues.

I don't think they are incapable of such things, as I always get the impression posts like this one ("why can't you just respect her opinion") are actually written by men. But her compiler won't give her opinions automatic respect. Why should anyone else?

Wow, please get that toxic attitude out of tech.
