Sure.  There's really no need to ask, as if ``sql servers'' were
something that women are or should be afraid of.

Yes.  I also dislike questions like these immensely.

You may have not meant it to sound like this, but questions like the
ones above _are_ sexist; they contain, consciously or not, the
hypothesis that somehow -- for whatever reason -- IP addresses, SQL
servers, mail servers, routers and any other IT related topic is easier
to grasp when you're a man.

That's simply not true.

If you have to ask why, you're missing the point.
