Being what this post would refer to as a "programming woman", I can attest to this. And I think this is one of the primary reasons I (and other women I know in the computer industry) got drawn into computers - no one cares what you look like or where you're from. Heck, most people in your industry might not even see you physically. You don't have to dress up (if you do, that's totally fine). That's just crazy cool for an introverted nerd.

My sister got on my case about not dressing up or, as she called it, 'showing off my body'. You're only young once, she said. Which, I said, is why I don't want to waste my time thinking about clothes when I'd rather program. Sure, I occasionally like dressing up, but I really could care less about whether my outfits are new and original each day. Also, nothing is more insulting than going to a programming meeting, throwing in my 2 cents, and having a guy come up to me afterwards only to comment on my earrings.
