Man with a hammer rule definitely applies to SAs. If your skills are in Micro$oft then every problem is best solved with MS, even when it isn't.

I tried to come up with a gender-neutral way of saying 'man with a hammer' and failed. Please make some suggestions for me.

A person with a hammer? Why does it need to be difficult :P

Or just go with direct address

"If your only tool is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail."

Yup, that's the form I'm familiar with. Most idioms avoid gender entirely.
