There are people who aren't like me who are hackers. Also there are people who are like me who aren't hackers.
The list of people who aren't like her is: progressive, libertarian, anarchist, moderate, communist, conservative, liberal, and reactionary.
The list of people who are like her is: women, bisexuals, Texans, or engineers.
Why else would she come up with 4 random traits? They obviously have something in common: they describe her.
The "who aren't hackers" part doesn't apply directly to engineers. It applies to the entire list. So if you were to parenthesize it to show precedence it would be "(women, bisexuals, Texans, or engineers) who aren’t hackers." Not "women, bisexuals, Texans, or (engineers who aren’t hackers)."
