At the risk of having my fellow females beat the crap outta me, I like having the "geek industry" dominated by males.
Granted, I'm only a lowly HTML programmer/artist with a very small capacity for programming and mathmatical brain functions, but damn! I love being in that little clique of the world where I don't have to put up with cattiness. To me, guys have always been more well-suited to the world of computers. I mean, c'mon! Can you imagine what the world would be like if women ran the industry? No Quakes, no Diablos, and no other bloody, dark, shoot 'em ups! Instead, we'd be plagued with "Barbie's 3D Shoppin' Spree," or, "Twiggy and the 13 inch waistline: Quest for Dexatrim!" or other horrible ventures! *weep*
I don't buy any of the "it's a gender cap" or, "women aren't encouraged" crap. My parents had me on a computer as soon as they could afford one. (When I was 9 or so.) I have two sisters; neither of them are nearly as interested in computers as me. The prefere boys, shopping, etc. Probably why I don't get along with them too well. ^_~
Anywho, at the risk of being rambly, I'm tossing in my two cents and being glad that for the most part, I don't hafta put up with a bunch of girls. *ick*
