If it sounds like BS it's probably BS

Well, women fly transport helicopters better, apparently. Maybe there's some similarity between flying transport helicopters and coding.

Link?

@fSociety you know what, this is the problem with fake news; they dont guve proper references. Just say "researchers have said" or "a study has showed" or "let me google that for you". So unless valid dource has been provided, it is bullshit.
No matter if it is bbc or president of US or a devranter

I think it's just that women tend to suffer from impostor's syndrome more often than men, and they don't want to reinforce that feeling with their production being rejected. That causes that many women would only make a pull request if they are REALLY sure that the request will be accepted. It's purely anecdotal, but several female devs I talked about this issue feel this way, including me. It's not that women code better, it's that we only make public our best code, if any.
