Ponytails here (in my office) are usually on the Linux males…

Admittedly, I cut my ponytail off 11 years ago.  ☺

Oh, IT has definitely changed, as it has aged. There are still smart young pups 
out there (and I’m amazed at how smart some of them are), but some of us older 
guys and gals are still pretty active.

Ain’t that right, Web? ☺

Interesting because when I started attending the HP Technology Forum a lot of 
the attendees wore jeans, tshirts, ponytails, beards and were men.  Now most 
are still men, but wear khakis and polos, clean shaven (or goatee), and very 
few wear ponytails.  And there are noticeably more women (and being the father 
of two daughters, I say “Yea!”).

Stereotypes are usually not much more than odds and/or ratios. AKA   IF (x) 
THEN odds are that  (y) fits stereotype (z).

X=At computer/tech event
Y=this beautiful woman
Z=not an attendee

X=At a NASCAR race
Y=the attendee
Z=drinks beer and drives a pickup (possibly at the same time)

Some stereotypes exist because statistically they are (or were at one time) 
correct. Grab 1000 sysadmins and how many fit the stereotype of a computer guy? 
I was at MMS2012 and hate to tell ya, the vast majority fit the stereotype…but 
no,I’m not saying it fits 100% of any situation.

Oh sexism is alive and well in IT.  I don't think I qualify as a "booth-bunny" 
but just because I have girl parts doesn't mean I have no intellect or knack 
for science/technology.  :P

Tech-Ed 2002 was here in Dallas and as always happens the night life area was 
full of attendees. One of my professional acquaintances is a very lovely lady 
who, at the time, was a network administrator for a name you’d all recognize. 
She was dancing on the bar at Coyote Ugly; an attendee standing next to me said 
something about her and I pointed out she was attending. He asked which booth 
she was working at. Came out that he thought she was a booth bunny and didn’t 
believe me that she was every bit as smart as any other attendee.

Sexism, I tell ya…
