    Today when I red the post written by Saima Ali , I could not believe it :( . I was very disappointed. Do you think only men can do VC++ and some other stuff ? Hi Saima, I'm happy you posted here in CP. Michela

    Pretending women can't code would be stupid, IMHO. However, it seems girls are less interested than boys by computer sciences, at least for the moment. For example, we are here 6 developpers, one is a woman. At school, the proportion in computer sections was also one woman for five men. In mechanical sections, the proportion felt to one for fifteen, and in chemical sections the proportion was five to one. ------------------------------------ Ash to ash, and clay to clay, If the enemy doesn't get you Your own folk may ------------------------------------

      You are right. We are 12 developers, one is a woman (me). But this is not a good reason to think that if a woman writes a post perhaps she is not a she but a he. Last Christmas we had a dinner for all the people that work here : 14 men and 1 woman (me). But this wasn't a goor reason not to go with my collegue, even if it was quite funny ....

        I'm female... I'm quite curious to know just how many other female members there are (but I'm guessing less than 10).

            It's a pseudonym that consists of 2 parts: (1) the MarS is made up of the first 3 letters of my first name, and the first letter of my second name (hence the capital "S"), and (2) the CoZa indicates that I'm from South Africa (South African URLs end in ".co.za")

              I am a same female person who posted her first message yesterday. Some people have made lot of fun for it. I don't know why. But here is the clarification: I am a truly female and whatever i worte yesterday was 100% accurate. A guy whose CP id is "tili" was the first to said that I am a liar and my name is "Imran Farooqui". Thats some thing stupid. I don't know who is "tili" and who is "Imran Farooqui" I didn't reply my previous thread as it was a night time in my country and i was sleeping. Another guy name Nish said that in karachi there can't be such a company having so large number of female members. I think that he reserved no right saying that, as he seems to be not visited Karachi which is a city of around 15 million people. Any ways i am deeply disappointed and never like to post again. So, bye for ever. Saima Ali

                    There was at least one other, I remember because she had a pretty name and I said so in response to someone who assumed she was male.

                      Agreed. And even if it/he/she was she/he/it, it doesn't matter. We are all avatars, here.

                        Why must s/he point out that she's female, and practivally push her profile's pic into everyone's face? S/he started the "female" thing, not we.

                          Nish, i found no reason that she stated something wrong. I am 70% sure that she is a female. In the last two years software industry has grown by leaps and bound in this part of the world. So there are many female developers around. Here in Karachi there are large number of Software Houses havin many female workers. And i think she may works in big company like this one. Imran Farooqui

                            I thought there was some dispute as to whether Karachi is in Pakistan or India. Admnitedly, I don't pay too much attention to the issue, but I thought that's why India and Pakistan are constantly at each other's throats.
