It's been found that women generally look at job ads and find the things they can't do. They will feel underqualified and not apply. I think that's the reasoning behind taking out "several years", etc. As a female junior software dev, I honestly would be more likely to apply to the revised job ad than the original. So, good job to them I guess.
