I think there is some jealousy too. When being a geek in the 90 was basically being the less popular people in the area, nobody wanted to be part of the crew.

I think there is some jealousy too. When being a geek in the 90 was basically being the less popular people in the area, nobody wanted to be part of the crew. Slowly but surely, with unrecognized hard work, geeks built something, and nobody helped them until shitload of money and cool stuff were made. They were a minority none helped and that people basically disrespected through media, stereotypes, etc. And you never heard any girl saying they wanted to be part of it. Now being a geek is cool and well paid. And it becomes a trend to help minorities to be part of it. I followed some of those efforts, such as pyladies, django-girls... I spent some time in Mali myself to help some people here to become Python dev with NGOS programs. It works. The community is better because of it. But the feeling of it being unfair can be felt on a lot of forums and comments. This is not sexism. It's more along the line of "so now you want it ?" and "oh but you want it easy too ?".
