During my years at university I was TA on a course on machine architecture several times. That’s one of the courses where students got to write the most assembly code.
In total I got to teach around 100 students. And among those 100 the smartest student was a woman (even though among those 100 students there were less than 10 women overall).
So my anecdotal evidence says it’s perfectly possible for a woman to outperform men in assembly programming.
And let’s not forget the first computer program in history was written by a woman. Sadly the computer it was supposed to run on was never finished.

The woman who coded the Apollo Guidance Computer is Margaret H. Hamilton.
She is still alive today.

@jackielovescompchem32 Wiki says she also coined 'software engineering'!

All the women who are smart enough to disprove misogyny are, in one way or another, stripped of their femininity by others

Don't forget Grace Hoper, who invented the idea of programming languages and wrote compilers.And Lovelace who built the mathematics underpinning the generalization of computer logic, effectively building assembler as a conceptual model ( since she didn't have real functioning machines of note to work with), the base structures of data encoding.

Here's some assembly I wrote, in an assembly language THAT WAS INVENTED BY A WOMAN
@ rem - calculate remainder through repeated subtractions
@ arguments:
@ R0 - Number we are going to divide
@ R1 - Number we are diving by
@ only changes the value of R0
rem:
CMP R0, R1 @ compare the remainder and the divisor
BLT end @ if the remainder is less than divisor, stop loop
SUB R0, R0, R1 @ subtract divisor from remainder
B rem @ loop back to the initial comparison
end:
BX LR @ return divisor -

@jackielovescompchem32 Hmm. did they think the codewriters were nonbinary?

@jackielovescompchem32 they probably don’t believe humanity made it to the moon…

@jackielovescompchem32 Tell them to look up Kathleen Booth ... the woman who came up with assembly and the first assembler!

@jackielovescompchem32 Maybe post the name of the person who said that. They are people who need outing so they cannot lurk in the dark and so we know who's brain is contaminated.

I write assembly code, and I'm a woman
@jackielovescompchem32 Cheers !
From The Netherlands from an older married male. And the Promise I won´t spam here all the time. Grown up and always worked in gender-mixes. Still , as museum-volunteer. With Lucy Maud Montgomery 's "Anne Shirley" being the real eye-opener in 1999 .First 10 years on LMM-forums were the best on the net. Learned a lot here on M too. Einstein did not do it alone, Mahler did not do it alone, women brewing beer everywhere till 15th C.
And So Much More. -

@jackielovescompchem32 I’d word it “(…) are not included in the definition of femininity (…)” by the misogynists.
The power of definition is real. Not only for them but for all of us. -

@jackielovescompchem32 What a strange and utterly ridiculous thing to say. I, for one, do not use my genitals in coding at all. Not even a little bit.

@jackielovescompchem32 that statement is just untrue, software was largely written by women before men realised "oh actually this isn't easy" and ousted women and stole credit for everything
