In fact, it may not be upsetting, but merely another in a long line of brief experiences that inform the audience — male and female — that women have no place in technical documentation, technical stories, programming, technology, prosperity, agency, or power. These are the minute bricks of social construction, and we can either choose to ignore them (and replicate existing oppressive social structures) or fix them (and make conscious choices about the society we construct). If, indeed, you are opposed to women programming, I can think of no better long-term solution than persistently emphasizing the maleness of technology or exclusively using male pronouns. To come out and blankly state that "women should not be in programming" would be met with the Backfire Effect, so subtlety is necessary, here. Keep up the good work.
