I'm done with bullshit like this. I lead a team of 7 brilliant engineers, 4 of whom are women. And they could kick the shit out of you with their skills.

The first programmer on earth was Lady Ada Lovelace. And she did it when computers were not even a thing. https://twitter.com/RVCJ_FB/status/1309789724848996352
She understood the theoretical Analytical Engine and wrote program that would calculate a sequence of Bernoulli numbers.

A entire programing language was named ADA, after her.
Admiral Grace Hopper created the language A-0 and wrote the first compiler in the world. Her work also led towards the creation of COBOL. Because she it would be easier for morons like you to write code if it resembled a human language.
Joan Clarke worked with Alan Turing at Bletchley Park and helped decode the Enigma encryption. Their work reduced the duration of World War 2 by two years and they helped save 14 million lives.
Margaret Hamilton coined the term 'Software Engineer' in the first place. She lead a team of engineer to build the in-flight software of the Apollo mission.
Kathleen McNulty Mauchly Antonelli, Jean Jennings Bartik, Frances Snyder Holder, Marlyn Wescoff Meltzer, Frances Bilas Spence, and Ruth Lichterman Teitelbaum. Six women who did the majority of the programming work in ENIAC, the first general purpose digital computer.
In college, a woman taught me to program. Another taught me about good engineering practices. Another taught me C and JAVA. Another taught me about networking. Another taught me JavaScript. Another taught me Image Processing and MATLAB Another taught me AI.
So maybe. Just maybe, you can shove your head up your arse and sit in the corner.
