May remind that person that #assembly was invented and co-written by a woman and her husband. And she was subsequently scolded for doing so by a man named John von Neumann for wasting so much valuable computing time. Who, I assume, later came around to see the merits. 😄
I write assembly code, and I'm a woman
All the women who are smart enough to disprove misogyny are, in one way or another, stripped of their femininity by others
The woman who coded the Apollo Guidance Computer is Margaret H. Hamilton.
She is still alive today.

That probably why Grace Hopper invented the compiler /s
Sadly, I couldn't figure out if she wrote the first compiler in assembler or machine code
