I'm sure the original author didn't have any ill intentions with this part of the text, but as pointed out by multiple users on Github (see issue #78) there is a paragraph in the text that in its current form suggests women are less intelligent than men, but seeing as you don't have to be extremely smart to be able to program, they should still be capable.
Again, I don't think this is what the author meant, but it is still pretty easy to read it in this way so I think it would be best to change this part of the text.
Another pull request has been made (#94 by @tlycken) that adds a small note ("And even if it was (...)") to the paragraph, but I don't see any point in keeping the paragraph as its whole point seems to be to explain how women are not dumb, which is unnecessary.
