"What would the reaction be?" It would be different. It would be far more negative. Do you know why it would be more negative? Because women in tech do not hold power in tech. They do not hold power in the world. A misogynistic name for that category of people would be punching down.
By contrast, "techbro" is acceptable because we know who's in power right now, and it's punching up.
