It still baffles me how that was even controversial. It's not rocket science that men tend be more interested in computers than women (anyone not lying to themselves will see that in high school or campuses).

I think it’s pretty clear that woman are interested in using computers for social purposes. But perhaps not so focused on the computer itself. It’s a tool for a purpose rather than a hobby.

I don't know and shouldn't attempt to guess your gender, but were you provided with toys and games that were typically considered non-typical for you as a child?

I've still got pretty mad respect for the Care Bears having watched a number of their adventures repeatedly.

Evidently Professor Coldheart has a Hacker News account.
