I don't see that there's much discrimination. What you're seeing is simply
a result of the fact that more men than women seem to be interested in this
field. At least, I should say, that's been my experience. For some reason,
I see far more women involved in LAN support jobs mostly dealing with
applications and PC hardware, etc. I took ICRC last summer and there were
only two women in the class compared to about 20 men. When I took CLSC,
there was one woman (she ended up being my lab partner and we had a blast!)
In a HP-UX class in Florida, it was about half and half. At a Cisco
Enterprise Management class in Phoenix, 17 men, no women.
I think as time goes on you'll see more and more women in this field, and
rightly so. That is, I suppose, if they can put up with all us dumb guys!
