I'm not sure what population the survey intends to look at; it's not Rust users because 25% of respondents aren't using it (per the first question). We don't know how the survey was conducted. We don't know if women or others are overrepresented or underrepresented in the results - and that's relative to an undefined population. We know very little, and thus we can't begin to know the reasoning behind the quoted comment. > women who don't identify as belonging to an underrepresented group The existence of significant numbers of such people seems to be the object of much speculation on HN, possibly because it would undermine attempts to increase the representation of women. However, I have not seen evidence that such a population exists. Also, underrepresentation in this case is much more a matter of math and not one of chosen identity.
