What interest do Ladies have in .Net

Corinna John wrote: If you find only men for .NEt, it may be because those men don't understand native programming. Ladies are able to handle complicated things, so most of them don't need .NET. That's stupid and chauvinistic. Jeremy Falcon

I have no idea, no - but I was specifically referring to this sentance of his: (also, the big grinning smiley was meant to show humour) "Whenever I read the articles, tutorials from MSDN, MSJ, TheServerSide.Net, GotDotNet, CodeProject they all have one thing in common, ladies are not allowed, this doesn't mean that website owners are stopping them to do, instead they are not taking challenge to do something which appeals or which create some attraction towards the men crowd on this planet internet." Jeremy Falcon wrote: Oh, and I'm sure someone's gonna vote me down for this because I didn't kiss your ass like the rest of the CPians do Keh? :confused:

Anyway, your post did come across as abrasive. Megan Forbes wrote: Keh? It's nothing against you. It was a message meant for those who would've voted me down for my post. The trend on CP is though that most guys on CP suck up to the girls on CP. It's kinda revolting IMO. Jeremy Falcon

>and I won't think you're a bitch Jeez man. That's not on. I don't agree with what Corina said but let's try and keep this civil. regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass South Africa Jörgen Sigvardsson wrote: "Gassho rei, Watson-san!" Crikey! ain't life grand?

That was civil. :) BTW, it was no more tasteless than her post. Did/do you intend to tell her the same thing as well? Jeremy Falcon

>The trend on CP is though that most guys on CP suck up to the girls on CP. True, actually true in most male dominated industries, but it's no reason to swing the other way. Maybe reply to Barbusa and give him some support if you agree with him rather than lashing out at the two females who chose to respond. (Meg is a personal friend of mine so my defensive-reply is not because she is female.) regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass South Africa Jörgen Sigvardsson wrote: "Gassho rei, Watson-san!"

Anyway, your post did come across as abrasive. I certainly hadn't meant to be abrasive. I did check his bio before replying, and it says he's from the US. Of course, perhaps he just selected the default when signing up... Jeremy Falcon wrote: The trend on CP is though that most guys on CP suck up to the girls on CP. It's kinda revolting IMO. Ridiculous more than revolting perhaps. For the most part (99.98728% of us?) we will all never be more than a string of bits coming through each others lan cards/modems. Except that I've now met a couple of CPians in person, how would anyone here even know I'm really female? What proof do I have that you're male, or you could be Bill Gates under cover :rolleyes:. Still, at least programming forums are better than photography ones - you wouldn't believe how worked up people can become about their particular choice of equipment on those sites. And once again, they're probably never even going to meet the people they are debating with so heatedly!

I did reply to him. And yeah, I understand being defensive. I'm being defensive too. :) Jeremy Falcon

Jeremy Falcon

Ridiculous more than revolting perhaps. I see your point. It's just personal with me because I am a guy. I don't like seeing guys act so foolishly. What proof do I have that you're male, or you could be Bill Gates under cover If I were BG, I would have somebody with better grammar type for me. ;P But, the people here (and like Paul said, most male-dominated places) will even suck up at the thought of a girl. I know the converse can be true too, but typically the numbers are much greater for guys sucking up to girls. Anyway, to keep things CP oriented... Java sucks! Jeremy Falcon

Paul Watson

You got me there Falcon. I've got double standards. I think that you calling Corina a bitch is a lot more abrasive than Corina making a weak joke about Brabus's literacy. regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass South Africa Jörgen Sigvardsson wrote: "Gassho rei, Watson-san!" Crikey! ain't life grand?

Ya know Paul, that's one thing I like about you. I think you're an open and honest person. Anyway, her post is not just about his English, it was also claiming he was in essence stupid and women’s superiority. Jeremy Falcon

You need to learn to dip chocolate coated digestive biscuits in it *drool* Now that's something we should be discussing/researching - the relationship between women and chocolate. :) My girlfriend loves the stuff like it's going out of style. My mom loves it too and she's hypoglycemic! Jeremy Falcon

Corinna John

:confused: I said nothing about his English. He wrote that there were no .NET articles from ladies on CP and other progamming sites, so I had to assume that he could not read properly. Otherwise he would have found a lot of articles.

Corinna John wrote: I said nothing about his English. I reread your post and you're correct. But, you were derogatory with your wording. Furthermore, maybe he just never came across one on CP written by a woman. We both know the search facility on CP isn't the best in the world. So, instead of insulting him, why didn't you post a link to your articles and enlighten him? Jeremy Falcon

Jeremy, I really like your defensive mode :) Really, really appreciate to all of them who are participating to discuss this post. I really appreciate Corrina's efforts after looking into her file, at least now I know that if you say something they ;) will yell. If Corrina look into my profile, SHE (at last ... a sigh) must oversee that I am an old member. I said two things, one was related to my circle where I am physically working and the other is the internet. While doing some thing when on the internet bandwagon, there is not much enough time to figure out who is who. IMO, the CP articles must contain one more thing which says, "This article was written by a FEMALE" ;) Cheers, The Phantom.

Thanks :) It is a wonderful pastime, and it's good to meet others who share the same passion!
