Hey - sorry it took so long for me to comment on this.

Yes - I'm a female geek who is a Computer Operations Manager for the US Gov't. (same as an IT Manager in the private sector). There are not any other female geeks in my department and only 3 others in the NCC department. I have worked as an IT Professional for the last 12 years off and on.

Females are usually driven out of the field due to the males making comments such as

You women are the reason we males don't feel all alone. Thanks for being here and promise no goo goo eyes.

If you took an X-section of the Male/Female population then I'm sure a much smaller proportion of the females would be interested in tinkering with computers. This doesn't excuse prejuging people and assuming they aren't going to be a competent tech just becasue of there sex od course.

any time we attend any kind of techical function the men think it's some kind of meat market and they are always hassling us to go out with them. [/quote]

Ah that would be becasue in their profession they don't meet girlies that often so when they do they get all excited

Every so often I'll run into a guy who'll say he has "lesbian tendancies" and wonders if I do too. Little tip: that's the worst pick-up line ever!

[SeMag]

Every so Often ???

So this is not a SeMag original, shut, I tought I was at least original.

" Pick Up Line " , Guys in the US try to pick up girls saying they have Lesbian tendencies, wow, they must really be desperate.

Well I must say I took my comment out of Eddie Izzard dress to kill video, i just like hes/her Kind of comedy, and really never (I have ot be clear about this) never use it as a Pick up like.

Take care effika, tip well taken.

You have to remember that I go to college, and so I'm around a disproportionate number of males who wish all women were lesbians. Well, around a disproportionate number who express it.

Eddie Izzard rocks! Good taste, SeMag.

[Valour]

Any man who thinks lesbians are so wonderful has never seen a real lesbian.

Personally I don't understand the general male obsession (or the perception of the general male obsession) with female homosexuality. Of course, I don't understand why people want to go to strip clubs either. Why would I want to pay to see some sleazy woman take her clothes off? If I ever got to the point where I was that pathetic and disgusting that I had to resort to strip clubs to see a live naked woman, I hope someone would have the decency to shoot me.
