From your paper: “The current standards of evaluation in the PL community are set from a masculine perspective as well, valuing formalism and formal methods over user studies, quantitative over qualitative work, and the examining of technical aspects over context and people.”
Doesn’t this statement support traditional stereotypes of male vs female contributions to a programming project and make it more difficult for a woman to be accepted on an equal basis if that woman’s strengths are in formal methods, quantitative work, and technical aspects? Might her strengths be devalued or disregarded because she is a woman?
