You’re making my point for me: “female” is valid as an adjective, and “woman/man” programmer make no sense, but you feel intimidated into rejecting all uses of “female” because of outrage over an unrelated phenomenon.

That’s exactly what I mean when I talk about someone deciding something and everyone joining the bandwagon without really thinking about it.

And I didn’t say I was random; it’s deliberate, but deeply confused.
