It's not about segregation. I've seen a presentation at a LUG by a female. Surprisingly there were more women in the audience than usual. I'm pretty certain the all-male-dominated meetings don't exactly draw out the young 21 year old hackeress who is considering installing Linux and hacking GNOME. The simple fact is if you bring women together they seem to click on a completely different level than men. I've been accused of wanting to date this whole SIG I've considered starting up, and I've been accused of what seems like prejudice toward women. If I continue I fear I'll be slandered more. You know what? I'm hoping a stalwart and adventerous geek girl starts up something in Toronto and other major cities across Canada to do more than just subscribe to mailing lists and give "C courses." I'm certainly stepping away from this ticking time bomb. How positively silly.
