I did not attempt to. I clarified that your argument wasn't sound. My comment was not about the "general discource".
>You have women among the elite of their male peers and not just elite, but pioneers.
Eh. If women are not "genetically suited" for programming, then there can still be women among the "elite programmers and pioneers".
By the way, the fact that many women were pioneers in programming was not related to ability, it seems to be mostly an economical decision, as keypunch operators were often female.
