it’s about time

The good we secure for ourselves is precarious and uncertain…

…until it is secured for all of us and incorporated into our common life.

Why are there so few women in IT?

Here is one take on it

I dont know. To me, IT is as natural as breathing. More so, its vital, I feel fully myself when I am immersed in programming, or training, or documenting. I am better than some, nowhere near as god as many. I have much to learn, and know some. Much like most geeks out there! But I am good what what I do.

So are many women, who quietly go about working in this industry. But we are few,comparatively. Its a very boys club atmosphere, but I feel like thats changing, as more of us enter this magic industry. Hope so, my girls and boy are al geeky types, in one way or another. I cant see why it should be any different for anyone of them - if thats what they want to do, I will be cheering them on.

I know its hard to be a working mum. I never feel like I have done enough, and I am working part time. At work, I feel guilty for not being with my kids, at home, I miss work. Thank goddess I am only part time:)

Different. We are all different, certainly not just in gender.

BUT I fail to see what the hell gender has to do with computers - mine has certainly never complained;)
