Gender may have something to do with probabilities when talking about aggregate populations but it has very little to do with personal preferences.

Americans like NASCAR more than other countries do, but that doesn't mean every American loves NASCAR nor that there aren't NASCAR fans from other countries.

If you wanted to hire someone to blog about NASCAR you wouldn't limit your search to Americans only, you'd screen based on interest. Maybe there's a superfan in France who's the best qualified.

The same goes for tech. Stop using aggregate statistics to bias your thinking about individuals.
