Women aren't unintelligent #94

Before this change, the end of this paragraph made it seem like you think
women are unintelligent - the implied meaning was that if programming
actually was the most intellectually demanding task imaginable, then
it would be reasonable to assume women couldn't be as good as men.

I believe (hope) that this is really not what you meant; this change makes
that much more clear.

(Disclaimer: English is not my first language, so feel free to re-word this if
it feels off...)

I wanted to label this text, but I don't have access to edit labels.

After coming back to read this again, I realized this is probably fixed better
by just removing the offending sentence alltogether. I don't think any value
is lost this way, but there is now no way to read this paragraph as if it means
that the author claims women are stupid.

This has been fixed elsewhere.
