- heili 14y agoI think the 'You're not helping' meme is pretty damn apropos here and I am a software engineer who happens to be female. I'm not furious at her, because she's not high enough on my radar to actually incite 'fury', but I do think she's an idiot and that her actions are likely to cause the exact opposite response than the one she claims to have intended. Oh and I also don't really find my field to be inherently sexist just because it's mostly men and there are a lot of dick jokes. I happen to like it that way, and much like every guy with some chops I've always been treated with respect due to my own abilities. They do expect me to actually have ability to be part of the group, but that's hardly unreasonable.
