Absolutely! I'm not saying it is abnormal for women to wear high-heels. I used "floor" two different ways without realizing it. I mean to say that the surface of the bathroom floor on level 1 is evenly flat and unmarked, which I'm calling normal for tiled flooring. But the norms for dressing on the second story are different enough from the first story that the surface of their bathroom floor bears different marks.
I talked to my sister more about this and she doesn't think she is freer in a tech job than an administrative one because she is a woman, but rather because the job itself is less structured. I think a lot of tech jobs are like that though: not customer-facing, and not even really management-facing.
