Now that the shoe is seemingly on the other foot, does it fit any better?
Let me explain.  How would the author of the article in question have felt
if she had read something to the effect that a software system was superior
because no women were involved in its development?  I imagine she would be
rather upset.  Why does the sexual, racial, ethnic, or religious makeup of
any group of people have anything to do with the quality of what they produce?
