Re: [OT] women.kde.org

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!
