I think what he meant that he is intimidated by women who are hired by the the companies who just want women as a part of their diversity programm and not all women in general

Interesting that you bring this up. Name at least one company that hires women only because they're women.

If that is the case, with my credentials, I am a precious gem for any company and people should be fighting for me 😅: I am a woman, a [protected] veteran, BS in CS, bootcamp cert, and this fall I am starting my masters in space systems engineering. Did I also mention I am an immigrant? OMG I know! Came here to take an american's job!.. However, when I apply for jobs, my resume still has to pass through ATS, I still have to convince a recruiter I am a good fit, and I still have to pass a technical interview. And I've failed technical interviews. And when I did, no one handed me a job just because I am a woman.

Unfortunately, there is no excuse for this guy and his words, no matter how much you try.
