> Does assuming that someone is a male programmer make them sexist? Not really - not unless you _also_ assume other implications like "women can't program", or other such nonsense. But that's a leap to make.

In my experience I've found people who assume genders to have a reason for assuming. The most common reason is they don't believe women can program as well as men.
