Women participants in the lounge?

I know you probably aren't aware of it but that statement was incredibly patronising, sexist and crass. It's precisely this attitude that has driven the female contingent away. I am sure they face bias and sexism in real life, so they don't need to encounter it here.

Yes, but you are one of us, so we can't consider you a "chick" even if you are one. ;P BTW what is up with this new user-id?

Hmm, don't know what to say about that - maybe you'd like to explain yourself :confused:

Just an inside joke. Despite her new user-id she's actually an old-timer. :)

You are obviously not married. One of the first things you will learn when you become married is that if a man farts in the woods and no one is around to hear it he has still done something wrong. :doh:

First, the programming industry's male-to-female ratio has always been overwhelmingly weighted towards males. I've met exactly two female programmers in my 30-year career. One was only doing it until they hired me, and the other had been moved into the position "to see if she could handle it". I personally treated them like programmers first, and women second. Other coworkers not only treated them like women first, but they treated them like they were stupid BECAUSE they were women. This was the primary reason they were either looking for non-programming jobs, or happy to hand the job to someone else. There are many more female system admins than there are female programmers (I know two right at the moment). I don't understand why it's so important to know how many female programmers there are on CP. I know of three or four that WERE here, and that one of them recently requested that her account be deleted because of some of the people here. So, grow up and mind your own business.

Hey Nish, sorry for the belated response, but this is the user ID i've had for ages. I recently realized I have to update my current company and such, but I think I've always been leckey76 (unless I was just leckey at some point...insert Inception sequence with a matrix with my narcolepsy...)

So, did you abandon the old one? Old user profile[^] Most recent post with that was on Jan 28th 2011.
