Unfortunately, that's how college kids talk. I wish they wouldn't be so crude, but the language isn't CS-specific. That women in general are doing so well in college in general relative to men suggests crude language on the part of college men is not a serious problem. In the professional world, that kind of denigration would be completely unacceptable.

I don't think it's reasonable to generalize from this anecdote. Maybe he aced his interviews and she flubbed them.

That wasn't my experience at all. That kind of attitude or language would have been taboo.

Would have been but no longer is. Unfortunately, it is really the standard language of today's youth.
