Cause they are dudes, often not different from your typical World of Warcraft incel basement dweller, and dudes are the majority in computer science education, that's all there is to it. Also for silicon valley startups, these dudes count as "women hires" and so these businesses can then boast about how diverse they are.

It also means that they’re going to be receiving women’s STEM scholarships and such, in addition to LGBT recognition.
