you forget man, basically its ok for woman to have advantages, just not men
(yep, its fucked, as ive said all along, there should be no advantages for anyone regardless of sex, race age or anything else, then again, also no disadvantages for anyone except disabled people, but ofcourse: that would be fair, so ofcourse it wont happen

What advantage?
KDE-Women is a group of (female) KDE developers and users joined efforts to increase visibility of the female developer and user base of KDE and lower the entrance level, which is something I can fully understand in the tech culture which unfortunately still is predominantly male. You could even argue that in such a culture women are actually disadvantaged.
KDE-Women also happens to keep track of KDE related events and they have some other projects as well.
I bet that if you seriously started a project to have lots of software for KDE aimed at children (both educational and games) you could get kids.kde.org to promote your project. Of course noone would even think "those damn kids, why kids.kde.org, there is no grownups.kde.org!".
Or perhaps someone would like to have 3rd-world.kde.org to donate hardware with KDE preinstalled to third world countries in Africa, Asia and South America. You wouldn't mention a lack of rich-people.kde.org either.

Except for one glaring inconsistency: KDE is not aimed at men, but children's progs are aimed at kids! If there are fewer women in programming, it is because women are less wired towards the technical than men, and please don't tell me there is no difference between man and woman brains. All this 'situational equality' crap ignores the huge and well documented differences in chemical, physical, and genetic makeups between races, sexes, etc. That is why we have the freedom to pursue, not the freedom to have.

Of course there is a difference between a mans brain and a womans - But saying Women are less wired toward the technical is rubbish.
Women are not encouraged as much as men to take a technical route.
I found at school and in college all the attention and praise in technical classes was heaped on to the boys, where the girls were looked at with a "well, we won't expect much" attitude. If you treat people like that, they go a different route.
And your statement makes me sound like a freak for being a technical female. Thanks.

You're just wrong. The differences between man and woman brains are much more pronounced than the feminazis would like you to think. Of course this doesn't mean women are bad at math, just means that women are considerably less likely to be interested in it. And you're not a freak, nerd girls are really cool!
