Re: Mmm, Don't know...

Women are a vastly under-represented group in the geek community. If we truely want to be a community (and achieve World Domination, they do make up 52% of the population you know) then we need to provide support to encourage then into the community, not chase them away with macho bullshit.

Besides, the 3 best programmers I have ever had the privalege to work with were women, they kicked my arse all over the joint. They brought a different perspective to the table, and just got on with it while we guys were still comparing our measuring tapes :-)
