No, creepiness exists in your mind only. Believe it or not, we valued the fact that those women were there and we tried to help them out in whatever way we could. My field of study back then (guidance systems, weapons design) is even more male dominated than CS. All male peer groups are not a fun thing to be in.
To preclude the question, yes those girls did get asked for a date every now and then. If that’s wrong, I don’t want to be right.
- mikeash 8y agoI read “have a pulse” as “it doesn’t matter how qualified or pleasant these women were, the men were eager to have any contact with a woman and would have taken them on just for that.” Does it mean something else?
- throwaway84742 8y agoIt means they didn’t have to make any effort whatsoever to get attention and help of their male peers. Interpret this as you wish.
- mikeash 8y agoSo, creepy.
