Each language has it's roots and it's history.
In Spanish, my main language, "owner/s" is a masculine word itself and includes both sexes when building sentences by default "owners will need to decide how much to invest in renovations" . If you want to denote specificity you need to specify "masculine/femenine owners".
Those are called "Epicene nouns" and it comes from the Greek "Epikoinos" which mean "Owned in common".
This is intrinsic to the language. Spanish doesn't have gender-neutral "it" or "they", it has, in the other hand, plural for he/she plus -almost- every word is either masculine or femenine by default.
To add some examples, "pandilla de amigos", which mean "group of friends" or "banda de musica" which mean "music band" are both worded in femenine (pandilla, banda), though I doubt you'd see any man crying because "banda" or "pandilla" are femenine words and, in conclusion "I don't think I could have a group of friends nor be in a music band", that's just edgy and stupid.
The same way in which the "nevertheless, she coded" is built foundamentally, why "nevertheless"? Doesn't each man or woman has access to the same colleges, vocational studies, bootcamps and information across the internet? Gosh, Ada Lovelace was the first software developer of the history back in 1840!
Other misleading things in the text: UEFA was created in 1954 while UEFA women was created 30 years later, in 1984. Question being if we really need both, because "Union of European Football Association" looks pretty much as grouping both, but that's a totally different discussion.
In conclusion, stop segregating men and women, we're both in the same boat, one's not "special" for being one thing or another.

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
