I like you Eko, I know you don't mean any harm, but I must correct
you. First off, girls are juveniles, in English, a grown female is a woman.
Secondly, jobs are not generally gender based but ability based and ability
is usually more related to the character than the gender, although gender
certainly affects the character. Only in cases of physical tendencies such
as strength, nimbleness and so on may generalities be brought and for those
there will always be exceptions. Women and men do have psychological
differences, but these are not necessarily universal. One must NEVER
assume ability by gender any more than by race or culture. It would be
wrong of me to assume that because you have darker skin you would be more
likely to have or lack traits or skills that I have or do not. It is also
a mistake to assume so on gender. Please keep doubting your gender based
assumptions. Women often find very good niches even in male dominated
career fields.
That being said, I am withdrawing my participation in computers as a
career. They are fun to work on and I don't need to equate that fun with
suffering. I shall return to seeking out a suitable profession, there must
be one or two I haven't tried yet. The computer industry in my town is not
large enough for me.
