That IS why (engineers are credentialed and regulated).

And where you got misogynistic is a mystery - simply using someones pronoun of choice in conjunction with something negative isn't implying anything.

Not software/devops/security engineers in the US, as I’m sure you’re aware. You and I can claim to be software “engineers” in the US and no one can reasonably tell us we’re wrong. And the domain of conversation is restricted to the US, because that’s where she worked.

The misogyny comes from the fact that this tends to only come up whenever a woman engineer is in the news. Nobody comments on HN threads saying “but he isn’t even an engineer”.

These are not equivalents: Scripter -> Coder -> Developer -> Software Engineer

But she is a credentialed security engineer, so I guess you agree the criticism that she's not a qualified engineer is wrong.
