gollark: Just PWM your gender.
gollark: I mean, people don't seem to say "let us train the weirdest people possible as programmers".
gollark: Is there not a lot more inter-personal than inter-gender variance in ideas?
gollark: The chance of this happening randomly is quite low.
gollark: I mean, my A-level computer science cohort of 9 people contains exactly 0 (zero) women.
