  > Throwaway because I don't want to risk losing my job for asking this. Do you often have issues at work when you feel you're "just asking questions"? I haven't seen a single person mention their gender yet. For all we know everyone who has replied is female. Maybe don't assume someone's gender based on data like hobbies?

    > I haven't seen a single person mention their gender yet. That's why, in order to establish the answer to OC's question, it is necessary to ask. > Maybe don't assume someone's gender based on data like hobbies? Directly asking is the opposite of assuming. Your attitude is why OC made a throw away.

      It probably is the same as programmer / computer field MALE and FEMALE ratio. I doubt anyone here would reject the idea having 50% of females typing every day as much as males do. I am doing IT and programming at the same time, I don't see a single girl doing IT or programming at the companies I work with (SMBs) doing anything close to hackernews material things other than graphic design or social marketing.
