I think this can be viewed as the core of your argument, and it is highly contentious. Consider, men and women are different, true. How many of those differences have anything to do with technical abilities, though? Indeed, just how similar to the other men in your workplace are you. > More back to the topic, if men and women have freedom to be involved > in different fields but gravitate towards fields, this doesn't have to > be a problem. This is almost undoubtedly true. However, if there are differences, I see no harm in trying to reason about why they exist. If the reasons are all artificial and could be holding very capable individuals back, then they should be eliminated, if possible. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
