"Computer Science" could also be called "Elitist Geeky Boys Club"

get off our internet

Bah. I work with several female engineers. My Mom was a female engineer.

Some of my friends are females with programming jobs.

This is one of the things I most wish would change about the profession that chose me: too damn many white guys. ;>

Just because I took computer science, does not make me a geek. I know many people who went into the class simply to spend hours just playing on the computer while the teacher rambled on...it's not the class that made me a geek, it's the fact that I know multiple programming languages, can build computers from the ground-up (given the time and money), and can do just about anything that I want to do within half the time of the normal user. I repeat: it is not the class that makes the geek.

Ethrel: did somebody say "computer science class"? i only see "computer science".

Emily, if you ever come back: please tag "computer, computer science, geek, male, sexism"

You (girls) are welcome in, you're just not interested

Many are interested but there are still some men who don't welcome us. That can be so intimidating many women just don't bother to fight it.
