Uhmmm, there is strong evidence that women have an easier time in tech to receive responses to their job applications, to get invited to interviews and actually get the job. There is no competence "DPS check" and tech competence doesn't shield you from being manipulated.

Getting your foot in the door is far more important than your academic background.
