You shouldn't put an emphasis on gender. But the numbers and stories like these prove that most people do, even if unconsciously. All of us are subject to biases, and pretending like you're above this reeks of hubris.
(Also, thank you for proving a point in an amazingly effective fashion - as if "college degree holding males" are the only people capable of working with tech. Your testicles don't automatically make you superior, and my vagina doesn't automatically make me inferior.)
