The idea of me being afraid of women is ridiculous, as you would know if you actually KNEW me. Any assertions you make about me are invalid purely on that fact - you know nothing about me. I happen to treat my girlfriend with a tremendous amount of respect and love. I have nothing against women coders - I work with a couple. They are very talented, and I enjoy working with them. As for me being poisonous in the workplace? My superiors would disagree.
You completely missed the point of my post. If women want to code, then God bless - there's plenty of work to be done. If you don't, great - plenty of other fields for you. Where you lose me is the perception that because women CHOOSE to do something else, it something that has to be addressed. No, no it doesn't. And there are plenty of other comments addressing another completely ignored problem - where are the 'demands' for equality in teachers? or nursing? Don't hear much there. THAT is true equality - when both sexes are allowed to choose the fields that compliment them and their skills/desires, and let the distribution fall as it may.
As for hiring me? I would never in a million years work for you. You sound like a terrible boss.
how many bisexual transgender autistic bi-racial native american / tongese dwarf insomniac coders do we have? not too damn many I bet. we need more. let's make that a goal.
Don't get it. So women don't want to program. That's fine. Why do we feel the need to inflate the numbers? Feminism is an outdated concept by this point - and frankly, it doesn't apply to software engineering.

Obvious neo-feminist. Not even worth addressing.
Maybe we should appreciate the fact that software engineering is one of the last bastions of masculinity.

I would so work with one of those.
George Carlin has a great quote that addresses your final sentence.
If by 'social inequality' you mean the increasing attacks on male rights in our culture, I agree.
