Are you trying to fight a prejudice by using a prejudice (even if meant
jokingly)?

The "women in technology" debate is about the extra effort women have to
put in, and extra shit they have to endure, to be seen as equal to male
developers. It is not about the Readers Digests prejudice of "women talk
more on the phone" or the "different design of a GUI based on gender".
