Manicdee said IT is self-absorbed and sexist therefore there are not a lot of women in it.
Bermanoid said there are not a lot of men in nursing therefore nursing is sexist.
'X therefore Y' does not equal 'Y therefore X' your premise is invalid.
I believe, based on many years experience of this industry that it is self-absorbed and sexist. I agree with manicdee.
- cousin_it 15y agoNo, manicdee said "How many women do you work with?" as an argument to prove that IT is sexist and no one should get offended at allegations of sexism. So both cases were "Y therefore X". I think you are really stupid. Are you sure you are a techie? What kind of techie? Do you know Haskell? ETA: Gordon and I took this conversation offline and he seems a nice enough guy, but I will still leave my rudeness here for posterity.
