I'm glad she doesn't accept the response given by Matt Amionetti. If you are still telling the offended party why they shouldn't be offended, you are not apologizing. Remaining unapologetic for perpetuating stereotypes about a marginalized minority is completely unacceptable. This is all making me pretty ashamed of my peers, I would have hoped we were all past this. We all saw Anchorman, right? We all realize that was funny because that sort of treatment of women is archaic and obviously wrong, right? This is stuff that is behind us and below us and is being used by Hollywood to provide entertainment, there's no way such a new field should be struggling with anything close to it. Disgusting.

>> "This is all making me pretty ashamed of my peers" This is all making me pretty bored of more articles about it. We get it. Endless discussion/bitching/moaning isn't adding anything.

This makes me wonder something. In my experience, women in programming has been treated extremely well, if only because they are so rare. My first (and best) programming teacher was a woman, and since then I've had woman as collegues and subordinates. Also I've met a very good (and respected) woman manger. So I can't help but ask (I'm from Eastern Europe): other then being few, is there really so much discrimination against women in your culture? Or obstacles against choosing this career or advancing in it? Again, in my environment things are exactly the opposite: any young women programmer is always encouraged to continue working, and they tend to be quite enthusiastic too.
