Sexism aside, you can not argue with the fact that the poll has got the ladies on the list talking. Welcome back ladies, tis been a while :-)

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. jajilong wrote: >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. > >Joan > > > -- Richard _______________________________________________ LUG mailing list [email protected] http://kym.net/mailman/listinfo/lug %LUG is generously hosted by INFOCOM http://www.infocom.co.ug/ The above comments and data are owned by whoever posted them (including attachments if any).
