I didn't get the impression OP focused on the gender. Is it forbidden to mention a gender if it's female?

Seems to me the one focusing on the gender is you.

Notice that there is no mention of the gender of the CEO.

I think the point is that if it's irrelevant, why mention it?

Would you have responded similarly if the OP wrote:

		I would have. I think the focus on gender would also have been inappropriate.
