OTOH it was rms and 2009 and he was actually acknowledging that women actually used computers at all? Is this really something to get one's knickers in a twist over?

I have no reason to defend rms over anything. I believe he has either changed or else eliminated that particular skit thing. And, he might have even apologised for it.
