What, you and Holly and Katrina and Kristen and... um... uh, oh. Is this
really that male-dominated a pursuit? You know, coming from physics, one
of the worst fields for male-domination, and seeing female students with
a series of confrontations with chauvenistic professors and the like, it
always gave me a feeling of "oh, I can't stand this, I hope the younger,
less entrenched generation manages to change things..." ... is mudding a
good indicator that this is an unrealist hope? Are there reasons that an
overwhelming majority of the admins and developers here are male? And is
this something we can change?
