Girls Who Code is pretty much garbage TBH. "I don't want to make sweeping generalizations. One of the things I think I have found that is uniquely female is our empathy." Please stop tying my so-called "feminine traits" to my ability to code.

It has nothing to do with capacity for empathy. I think it has more to do with the fact that Western upper middle class women have typically been expected to devote their efforts and freetime to charity work. It's just a continuation of a cultural expectation of women.
