Gender should be irrelevant, but it is not currently irrelevant. It is highly relevant, and to ignore this is to ignore obvious reality, roughly equivalent to jumping off a cliff because reality is subjective and you believe that you can fly.
I think the choice of that particular moniker has more to do with the fact that women are rarely both liked and respected in any professional field. Competent women are viewed as cold; warm women are viewed as incompetent. For a woman to be competent, she must be a bitch.
This is obviously not the best state of affairs, but it is the way reality is.
