You're here fighting against the _grave injustice_ that someone ... felt a little bad about an assumption they made?

Having that "oh shit" moment isn't a bad thing. Realizing that these assumptions aren't necessarily true is important -- If you just subconsciously know computer people are dudes exclusionary behavior is really hard to notice.

The problem is that they insulted everyone who made that assumption.

Edit: Downvote? Look at the wording. It wasn't swearing from making a mistake, it was saying that the mistake was shameful to make, as a general statement.
