What is wrong with assuming she was not technical? Doesn't tech industry has more technical men than women?

Because the assumption that women at technical events are not technical is one of the things preventing women from joining the field. It's also extremely condescending, and being condescending is rude and unpleasant. So please don't do that.

Making assumptions based on state of the real-world is condescending?
Also, please present your thoughts instead of telling others what to do based on your world-view.
