It depends, but there's a simple two-step process to resolve:
Are they East Asian, never having lived in the West?
Did they retire before 2000?
If answering no to both, generally negative. Otherwise, neutral to individually positive. Any time you read about the old Atari or Sierra days, you wonder where we went wrong.
The non-rhetorical answer being that the women of that era got involved in games because either they genuinely like it and made a go of their hobby or were already a professional in an adjacent industry. Not because their grievance studies professor told them it was a good platform for reaching kids with activism. Academia kills culture.
The always answer is, are the women doing it because of some need like to support their parents or a real passion? Then they can do a good job, whatever it is. East Asian women for example (outdated rule of thumb now).
Any other case, they're terrible. Invest thousands of hours getting good at something, or onlyfans.
Same reason why the only even remotely good female comedians are ugly. Lisa Lampanelli for a prime example.
