>If a ripped 6'4" male model called himself @sexyengineer and posted pictures of him building things shirtless, I would roll my eyes and call his legitimacy into question. Doing the same to a woman isn't some sexist conspiracy. And you would be wrong to do so. You could call their fashion sense into doubt, but questioning their competency in unrelated areas is falling prey to the ad hominem fallacy. Picking one undesirable trait and generalizing outwards from that is the definition of ad hominem. @realsexycyborg might have a nontraditional taste in style but this literally has nothing to do with her skills as a maker or ability as an engineer. To conflate the two is bias and reflects the core problem here.
