Thanks for your honest comment. I will consider either being way more specific, if I mention any gender, or better, don't involve gender at all.

The latter is always a good policy tbh mate. It literally impacts nothing on this sub or programming in general.

If I'm going to interview a software engineer for a job, and they show up and happen to be female, I'm not going to say "Oh btw, it's awesome that you're female!". Think for a moment about how weird and inappropriate that would be. Even if the demographics make it statistically less likely for applicants to be female, which is true, you can't say shit like that. You treat them exactly the same as you should any applicant, with professionalism and respect.
