Why not celebrate women in tech by highlighting their work?

It's not like anyone has to hire anyone based on criteria different than qualification

Why celebrate anyone's specific gender, race, or ethnicity in tech instead of solely their skills and accomplishments?
There's an issue of accessibility in the tech industry caused by tradition that still is influencing people's life decisions. Changing outdated stereotypes is worth a celebration (skills are getting quite enough well-deserved attention)
