Girls can be coders too

I don’t think they assumed that because she was a girl. They assumed she couldn’t code because she was a model and there is a perception that being smart and being beautiful are mutually exclusive.

Women talk about being being looked down upon for being women in STEM all the time tho, it really isn’t that crazy that they may be misogynistic

I’m a woman in STEM. Most of the people who discourage us from STEM aren’t men, but women pretending to look after us. 

The career counselor who told me not to do IT because it “wasn’t female friendly”, my uncle’s wife’s mother who told me and I quote “why did you choose STEM? You probably struggle every day”, my own mother who told me that IT was “dangerous” and that my boss would “probably try to rape me.” All women. 

A lot of women in STEM have also internalized this kind of fearmongering thanks to progressive circles trying to convince them they have a reason to be afraid, even though if you just show your worth for the most part people don’t care. And if you do face injustice, report it, there are laws to protect you. 

These guys made an assumption based on her looks and profession as a model, not based on her gender.
