content: I'll explain this with an MMO analogy because I'm a giant nerd:   If you're on a raid against a boss known for being tricky in terms of aggro management and you're deciding which DPS class to bring on your team, it's a sensible move to pick the class whose techniques pull less aggro. A smart manager uses the best person for the situation. If the best person for the situation is a woman, simply because people are going to take a woman more seriously in this context then so be it.
