We're creating an environment now in which it is practically impossible to discuss this topic in tech. Our general irrationality and desire to completely and utterly jump down the throat of anyone who even remotely touches on this topic means that in the future any gender topics are just going to get "no comment" responses.
That's sad and not without a touch of irony precisely because in stifling the discussion we're probably doing more harm than good.
