That did spiral quickly into a rant about women in the tech field.
But maybe all that ranting explains the lack of women in the field.

I mean men and women are different. We tend to excel at different things, have different thought processes, process things differently, different strengths and weaknesses (generally, right? - there is obviously overlap).
Maybe her complaints help explain the lack of women in the field.
This could also be said of all individuals, sex aside.
Either way, I don't buy it. Nurses tend to mostly be women and yet the job is far harder than any software development job. It's more grueling hours, physically demanding, and mentally challenging. I think it's absurd to suggest that women as a whole can't handle the hours and demands of software development.
And of course you can then argue that parts of software are more social and my argument would be that there are more women in those parts of software.

I didn't suggest that at all.
