There is definitely a flipside. I wouldn't be nearly as up to date with tech if it wasn't for HN, and last summer I managed to get an internship at a startup that I would have had zero chance of finding had I not seen them in a &q

I'm not sure how things are in the US, but I do know that in the UK we have the Boy Scouts and the Girl Guides, and they both allow members of both sexes. But you do tend to get a lot more girl scouts than you do boy guides.
