FWIW, I'm a dude. But I've learned at least as much that affects how I write code over the years from talks, books, and whatnot by women as I have from men, if not more so. People have different life experiences that shape how they learned, and how they communicate. And in my experience, I'm far more likely to hear something new and different from someone who didn't grow up like me than from someone who did.
