It's "just plain wrong" to have something challenge the status quo of this being a heavily male/macho field?
I know you meant it as a light-hearted joke, and she didn't seem to take offense, but a joke that suggests hacking is male doesn't help us get more females into the field.
I'm sorry if I offended you, two of the brightest hackers I know are girls so I would be the last one to claim "hacking is for guys". It didn't even cross my mind, I don't know how it is in the States but here in Belgium there are plenty examples of smart women in computer science.

As her co-founder, I can guarantee I wouldn't let that happen. (well, maybe _one_ wall... ;) )
I prefer orange.
