phrased this poorly — don’t mean that non-w/a women are any more likely to be underqualified but that given that most w/a women in tech have identical backgrounds to w/a men, it’s extra dumb that said men still can’t wrap their heads around the idea of qualified women

When people make vaguely rational sounding arguments but with obvious construction problems in the initial axioms, I assume they are motivated by something that is left unsaid. On this subject, w/a women in tech, the obvious answer is pure, undiluted misogyny.
