Statistically speaking because I am short I am less likely to do well in my career compared to tall people. If you told me that my code sucked because I was short, I would be pretty mad at you.

Yes, there are differences between the genders recorded by science - but you don't have to choose between science and being a good person. Science doesn't compel anyone to attempt to apply statistical differences over a large group to individuals.

Furthermore, a difference that is proven now proves nothing other than the current state of affairs. It doesn't dictate what things would be if playing fields were more level, nor does it dictate how things should be or how things will be.
