*brain comes screeching to a halt. Stops... backs up and re-reads that post*
Pardon me?
Not only are you saying we don't exist, but we don't get laid?
Let me clear up some misconception here. Most -female-/. members don't message unless they feel their viewpoint has not already been posted. So much of slashdot is "hot grits" that it takes one hell of a story (or misleading comment) to get us to hit that post button. It's like a swimming pool of tubby nerds... interesting to watch, but it takes a lot to make us jump in with you.
As for the getting laid comment, I have to say, if we aren't getting laid, then no one is. Between the large salary, ability to buy silk thigh-highs, wega tv's to input our custom media table top boxes with the lates l33t card of the moment, not to mention the all important couches that don't squeek when used... excessively...
I don't think getting laid is a problem for the average geek gal. Getting someone who knows how to to it right - and can navigate the hookup between the x-box, avi computer, mp3 server, dvd player, playstation 2 (yes I can use it as a dvd, I just like the damn remote), snes (I'm old school, shoot me) and uses more than a microwave when making dinner... THAT is a challenge.
