So women are excluded from IT because magazines like to write about tech toys? I don't get it. Strippers and booth babes are equally offensive to men and women (not sure what is with steak).

Booth babes might be offensive, but I don't think they're equally offensive to men and women. Women can feel threatened or devalued in that kind of environment.

  Really? They just make me laugh at how stupid and easily manipulated some men can be, and glad I've managed to surround myself with men who aren't.

    Well, just some women. I don't think it's a rational thing. As far as I know, they don't really think anyone is going to hurt them, it's just a gut reaction. It might be fair to say that they should get over such irrational fears. But it's just as fair to say we don't need to put anyone through that for something so gratuitous.
