It is true that the IT and the white/black/whogivesashit -hat scene is dominated by males.oh for sure. same with science in general since the beginning. the reaction we're seeing to girls starting to come into the IT industry is the same reaction that general science displayed decades ago. and its all happening TODAY. thirty years ago girls couldn't go to school and end up with a career in chemistry. today we seem the same resistance. girls who actually do know what they're on about being told that they cant ever be more than aol whores because they are girls.
OK, I've tried to stay out of this discussion but enough is enough. In Australia at least there hasn't been a culture if "girls cant do science" for a _very_ long time. In particular there is a very strong domination of biochem and genetic research by females, particularly those in the 50+ years old category. Now if you'd said mechanical engineering I'd have agreed with you, as it is still a male dominated discipline. But certainly not Chemistry. As an Australian I'd of thought you'd have known better, especially being a student at a University with fairly strong Chem and BioScience schools - or perhaps you are not as 'in touch' with trends and gender issues in Oz as you think. Perhaps if you spent more time actually working on your course and not hanging in #phrack you'd have known that. And best of luck in your exams sockz... Now lets get the signal-to-noise ratio back up.
