To the OP, thanks for writing. I'm going to try to act on it and get out to some sort of meetup.

To you, catastrophallie, on behalf of male developers who happen to think women–ESPECIALLY women who program–are totally awesome, I'm sorry. I'm still confused on how being a woman has anything to do with writing code, and think people who pre-judge your ability do so on unfounded misconceptions.

I agree with you in spirit, but, logically I think you have a fallacy here.

No fallacy. Parent is expressing admiration of both "women" and "woman programmers".
