"company culture" is what she was trying to fix. If someone has a TWSS bot, I'm guessing there are some more serious bias issues, perhaps like the author said, that people aren't even aware of.
"because they tend to be" is the type of excuse/rationalization that starts these problems. Of course men, on average, are stronger, but 99% of the time a woman can help you just as well. Making a decision based on someone's gender is sexism whether there is scientific data or not.
We're in a field that has the potential to be the most meritocratic field out there, and we do a disservice to everyone involved not to embrace that.

- roguecoder 15y agoOne day I needed someone to help me move a heavy server. It took me about 15 minutes to find someone who hadn't blown out their back recently (or at least, claimed to have), and she was the one woman woman on the floor. Most of the men probably injured themselves assuming upper body strength came with their gender, rather than were the product of actually exercising occasionally.
