I disagree. It is true that a male is hardly qualified to talk about how a female perceives things. But sexism in IT is an issue that concerns females AND males. A male should be allowed to say that, as a male, he thinks that he is annoyed by any kind of positive discrimination in the work place. In the same vein, a white person is allowed to have an opinion on positive discrimination, an heterosexual is allowed to have an opinion on gay marriage, and someone who doesn't carry a gun is allowed to have an opinion on gun regulations. Oh, and to defuse any bashing: I'm black, I have no opinion on gay marriage, or on sexism in IT (not working there).
