For an interesting insight to the observations here (that women are worse at making decisions or at analysis or that they naturally favour "softer" options - itself a perjorative term, or that programming is more naturally a male preserve, or that the original article was written by a "she-wolf", etc., etc. Open up Google and do a search on the history of women in medicine - there are plenty of articles.
The same nonsense was being spoken oven a hundred years ago when women were first admitted to medical training schools. It's taken over a century but now women now form the majority of medical students in many medical schools in the UK and US. I don't think that, these days anyone would seriously propose that a female doctors were worse than male ones. I do think that this thread demonstrates computing is about a hundred years behind medicine in regards to casual sexism. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
