Unexamined assumptions about one group of people or another are very often fraught with witless nonsense.

Some might blather on about what gay men like to do, or are suited to do. Then along comes Alan Turing who helps to create the discipline of modern computing science, and helps wins the war against Nazi Germany.

Others might blather on about what women like to do, or are suited to do. Then along comes Ada Lovelace. And Grace Hopper. And Marlyn Meltzer, Betty Holberton, Kathleen Antonelli, Ruth Teitelbaum, Jean Bartik, Frances Spence, Adele Goldstine, Adele Goldberg, and...and...and...

Surprise! Humans exceed, and fall short of our expectation all the time.
