You may want to think about whether this really was your intended meaning. Sure it was -- men are lazy; programmers are primarily lazy; explains why programmers are predominantly men (for the time being, at least). Made perfect sense to me. That's quite a different statement than "men are more good at it than women". Since when have programmers argued semantics/syntax?
It's *all* we argue about.
