isn't this a challenge for every software engineer?
it is practically a stereotype for other engineers to criticize someone else's code
it is practically a stereotype for senior software engineers to face a career plateau
and you think this was uniquely sexual discrimination? so lets give you the benefit of the doubt, of the things you described, these are issues all software engineers face.
The reality is that women face presumptions about their technical incompetence at a much higher rate than men. This is well documented and researched. [1]
Obviously male developers also get undermined by their coworkers and face career plateaus. That is reality, but it is not a binary action - simply because some men face similar problems does not imply that it is an equal problem for both genders.
You do have a point. I do have a male friend who is also facing a similar situation. When I commented I was emotional since it was more recent and while she was demoted without regards to performance the dude promoted 3 white guys he brought in. ಠ_ಠ
