From the comments:
If it had been a woman, posing as a man, there would be a big discussion about how it was reasonable for her to do that, because it gave her a chance to have her work judged without having to deal with peoples pro-male bias. It used to be pretty common, particularly when you're in a situation where you don't actually meet the people you're doing business with. Writers operating under a pseudonym, for example. So, he lied, and took advantage of peoples pro-female bias. And, people react with anger, just like people of a previous generation reacted with anger. People genuinely believe that men SHOULD have to work harder to get ahead. That's why they're mad. Because their prejudice is heartfelt.

some guys complain about there being so few women in tech
personally i have no idea what the fucking problem is. the fewer women in the workplace, the better.
women are everywhere, what kind of desperate idiot feels the need to be surrounded by them at work?

The same people rarely cry about how few males are in nursing.

I know when I was bluepill - part of the reason is because I wanted more female nerds and geeks I could have a proper relationship with.
How deluded I was..
