Supporting women in tech is not a “noble goal”; it’s a baseline for civilised behaviour. And while “considering user needs in the design of a system” isn’t necessarily feminist, it is something that is more likely to come up within a space that starts from respect rather than disrespect.

(Blaming users, male or female, is inherently anti-feminist.)

Actually, it sounds like an issue completely unrelated to gender at all.
Much of feminism - particular the branch that is vocal within the tech community - is not gender-specific. It's a social (and in many cases, political) worldview.
Then why call it feminism? That is just misleading.
