This is really overly sensitive. The word "bitch" is offensive to women? I talk to women all the time that use the word. They don't seem offended by it.
Anyway, I don't think anyone on the Internet cares what gender you are. Women just don't seem to be that interested in programming.
As for, "Women just don't seem to be..." types of generalizations... not a place I'd like to go. The same is sometimes generalized about people of my ethnicity; but that doesn't reduce my wish to be received with respect and consideration.
Do take a look at all the (women) signatories at the bottom of one of the linked articles in original post. [Several links seem to have gone dead in just the last half hour.]

It's all in how you use the word, I'm sure.

If they were interested, they would be actively participating.
