My point is that I think your "critical mass of women in tech" are offended by sexism, not brogramming. Brogramming isn't sexist in itself, as I tried to illustrate. Hiring based on the brogrammer meme is sexist discrimination, though.
I respect that they're offended, I just don't think you've targetted the source of offense precisely.
I'd guess that close to 100% of women in tech are offended by sexism. There is a group--almost certainly a subset--which is offended by brogramming. They have said so.
Now, you can try to go convince them otherwise, but I strongly recommend against it.
