Christof: Well put.
Fil: I suggest you get a thicker skin, and learn to realize when folks
are having good natured, no harm meant, fun. I personally would *love*
to see more women in the field of programming. Maybe then I could get a
date. :o) Cheer up. No one meant you any harm. :o)
Cheers,
Chris

Hi,
as you probably have noticed, there is an abysmal proportion of 1% of women
in Open Source (compared to 10% in commercial software development). We
need to think about how we communicate if we want to help this change.
Please be friendly and try not to antagonize people who could be willing to
participate, but might be tempted to exit if this community appears to be
another part of the great macho internet.
We'r not trying to be offensive or something. I more felt like this was
playing with 1. social conventions (don't ask women for their age), and 2.
sexual prejudice (woman and logic don't go together).
To pick up other prejudice, here is another version:
function bavarianPatient(age) {
Patient.apply(this,[age]);
this.getAge = function() { return 'ha?'; };
this.notnot = function(in) { return this.not(in); };
}
function machoPatient(age) {
Patient.apply(this,[age]);
this.getAge = function() { return 'Me? - older!'; };
this.and = this.or = function() {
// this is fuckin much too complicated!
return false;
};
this.not = function() {
// Trust me, I know what I'm doing.
return true;
};
}
Hope this makes you feel better :-)
Christof
