Maybe I'm too anti-social but my role model were letters on the screen all along. Books and education materials belong to a "bit-gender", it's a piece of info and gender doesn't go in the play.
I. e. in book written by Evi Nemeth and others I could not tell whether the respective part is written by she or he.
Maybe I'm too geeky and other people actually need physical humans like themself to cling to? :) That's a weird idea.
- marquis 12y agoIt was the same for me while I was "just a programmer" but I've moved into executive positions and have to deal with people on a human level. I am really enjoying the change in challenges and often miss that I could spend days on end with the "bits". I consider myself extremely lucky to have a role model who is an incredible person. Without her I would feel lost, and hope I can repay the favour some day to some young women.
- guard-of-terra 12y agoSurprisingly enough, executive positions usually have much more level gender ratio around me. It should be easier to find a role model there.

A huge issue is that many, many people don't recognize that not everyone has the same needs as them. It's actually very refreshing to see someone point this out, even if it's in a sarcastic way. Too often conversation take a turn into "Well I did X without help, why should anyone else need help to accomplish the same thing". It's counterproductive to learning in general.
