During many debates about gender (or race or sexuality etc.) in a group that lacks a lot of diversity, someone will come along and try to claim the high horse by claiming to be less sexist (etc.) because there don't care about gender, with the imitation that if you want equality, we should not focus on any group.
We do not live in that utopia yet. At the moment women in tech and men in knitting circles need more help (seriously I (a cis male) went to a local craft night and felt out of place). We should focus on people who need help. If people need more medical help (i.e. are sick), we give them more medial help than healthy people. Same with gender & tech.
