I dont think the logic here is to assume that OP is dismissing the argument simply because they're women. I think OP just means that because they're already in the field, their opinions and viewpoints are very different from people who went in different directions in their life. One quote from the article is Anna Karlin's where she says "Hence, when they get to college, fewer of the women have been exposed to the excitement of CS," and just that sentence alone is enough to show the bias there. I think we can gather that CS isn't inherently exciting except to a specific sort of person hence why most people choose not to pursue it. I would personally rather hear viewpoints from women who were on the border in college choosing their major or even girls in high school. I want to hear their mindset, not necessarily someone who assumes what others may think.
