/u/SearchAtlantis asks

I'm a senior level dev and two of my colleagues (women) just came to me with an incident that in a larger context sounds like soft-sexism.

:marseyscream: oh no workplace discrimination! This must be stopped!

Yesterday they had a meeting with a few other people including their line-manager and a surprise on the spot ask for them to write documentation.

:marseypearlclutch: they were forced to write documentation for software. This is worse than the handmaid's tale :marseygilead:

I mean, the immediate solution is to volunteer yourself.

:marseycracka: :marseycry: do their work for them.

when their line manager asked them to write documentation, you could have asked them if maybe they'd prefer to work on technical bits for once

:marseysoutherner: ok so you two write the documentation

:marseysoylentgrin: actually I think they should do something else you chud.

:marseysoutherner: who let you in here?

What I got from op's post is that, in jobs where nobody has the duty to do these "secretarial" or tedious jobs but somebody has to do it, the women are requested to take these roles just because they are women.

Or because they did a good job the last time they had to do this...
