Some guys are there to make money, get stuff done, and get it shipped.
If they think that having a woman means having to slow down and be nice and set out tea cozies, their answer will be to not hire women.
Create problems on a team, you will get bounced from the team ... I have seen it time and time again.
(the link got dead'ed, so I can't respond directly ... however my point is more "results matter" and if you are a purple spotted owl that can code, you will get respect ... nerdy guys with technical competence are what built the Internet, and technical competence is what gets respected)

- benjamincburns 13y agoI think what you're not-so-eloquently trying to get at is that while some people consider a particular cause noble and worth effort, others might consider it out of scope. However, in the context of this particular cause, it's often the case that those who set the scope are the least directly impacted by the problems which the cause is fighting against. Given lack of experience, and especially a lack of empathy, it often looks like a non-issue. People who just want to focus on their problem domain at the expense of their duties to their personnel can easily can fall into this category. Put bluntly, people like that should not be responsible for other people. Edit: > Create problems on a team, you will get bounced from the team As it should be. However if this is implemented correctly, standing up for yourself should never be viewed as creating a problem.
