> how does the woman in the hackerspace perceive what a given person conforms to?
Stereotypes, basically. Visuals/fashion play a very large role, as you can see in those google queries.
How they interact with others also is a factor. In my experience, shy people are less likely to be considered "dudes", while extroverts are much more likely to get the label.
