So, your argument is "no one has ever said men are better at writing programs than women"?

Not only am I not arguing (and thus don't have an argument), but even if I were, that would certainly not be my argument.
I was explaining why the comment was getting downvoted.
It is, however, interesting to see how you yourself are adopting a very similar tactic to the one I talk about in the post you replied to. Simply fascinating.

OK, I'll try to be more explicit.
> Saying "you can code even if you're a woman" is incredibly patronizing. It was never in question.
This isn't true. Tons of people question this!

Are those people's opinions respectable?
I know people who question the earth being round. Who question the moon landing. Does that mean the matter itself is "in question"?
I guess I phrased it pretty vaguely huh? Fair enough.
