Hi Dane,
I know you're not trying to be offensive, but some of your language choice
in your post just made me cringe.
>I must admit to becoming a little annoyed everytime the more feminist
>ladies refer to our section as a boys only club I personally would like the
I'm a feminist. Most CS and engineering departments are boys clubs. Like it
or don't, this is reality. I dont understand where your annoyance comes from.
>So ladies, don't just sit there come and join us we don't all bite or hide
>behind the glow of computer screens
This line, more than anything in your post, was the one that really made me
cring. It sounds patronizing, though I'm sure that is not your intent. But
understand that any women on the list you are posting to ARE computer savvy
or we wouldn't be here. To suggest that I'm hiding because I think the
males might bite me is demeaning. I'm also not overly fond of being called
a 'lady' when we are talking about something that is in a professional
context.
