I clarified, you are just BSing. Sometimes a question is a question.

There is no value or purpose added by stating you are female in the title. Clearly all females don’t think alike or have the same experiences.

There is nothing wrong with asking why was "Female" added to the title , but not other characteristics such as height,weight,age,color,weight, etc.

there is no specific answer to such an open question, beyond minority genders have distinct experiences (like male nurses). you could just as well be asking why engineer was "added to the title" but not other characteristics.
