Maybe someone should come up with a site where we can just input reasons
why we think women are shying away from IT other than voting based on a
rather restricted set of options.

Sexist ... well, depends who is looking at it. There are women who
will argue that that site is empowering. That's besides the point
however, I do honestly think that that should not be a reason to deter
you or any woman from talking part in this poll/discussion. That in
itself highlights the fact that *MOST* women expect to be handled with
special care if they are to do anything (including excelling in IT and
going to the bar for lawyers) and will find the first flimsy reason to
chicken out. What I would expect from you Joan and all you women out
there is valid sensible reasons and arguments as to why there are few
of you in IT but all we are getting is grief about a sexist site. I
expect I will be flamed for this but ... bring it on.

Badru,
The site is simply sexist, and for pple looking to find reasons why
fewer
women are involved in IT, you're doing a good job with the Stereotyping.
