- @shortblue There are some folk for whom it is true. Typically they are gamers. So there's a selection bias, but I agree with Bartle. #
- @shortblue Excellent – I will try and bring one or two others along to help explain. #
- Reminder: You should attend #ORGcon Westminster, Sat 24th March http://t.co/N0ZIf1jE
ie: #TOMORROW in #LONDON from 0930-ish # - : "#LibDems custodiet ipsos custodes?" (http://t.co/e4ozt01o at Computerworld) #ccdp #imp #libdem #orgcon http://t.co/wKmukfMo #
- ps: if #latin scholars want to send me a fix, I'd welcome it; it's wrong, but it was too good a joke not to run with

http://t.co/e4ozt01o #libdems #libdem #surveillance #ccdp #retitled # - @giagia Women-only car insurance has gone the way of men-only gentlemens' clubs; equality challenges discrimination, "positive" or otherwise #
- @uchian Because Britons drink from cans. Alas. #
- @uchian Canadian holidays when growing up I made quite a bit of money combing the beaches for bottles & claiming deposit; kids today… ? #
- @giagia I work to be positively sexist by actively encouraging women in high-tech, sharp-end information technology roles; what do you do? #
- @giagia If you're equating the tech world to male/intimidating – & baking to female/fluffy/un-macho – then I know some women you should meet #
- @giagia Also I bake a great victoria sponge, and fabulous scones. Secret = Cream of Tartar + Soda, not prefab baking powder. #
- @giagia My opinion would be that the man ref'd in @charlesarthur's fisking is a bit of a sexist twit, yes. Or perhaps a twit of all kinds? #
- @giagia re: comments on @charlesarthur's piece, do they demonstrate sexism as worse in IT than car-mechanics, engineering or journalism? #
- @giagia It's a massive problem. I don't have a fix for it. But I can help equal out the balance in IT Security, at least. So I try. #
- @giagia What I can say is that some geeks know who Ada Lovelace, Grace Hopper, Dorothy Denning, Susan Landau… were/are, and respect them #
- @giagia Agreed. And I totally support that, but with perhaps a programmer's OCD, I have no compunction about calling that "sexist"/discrim. #
- @charlesarthur Focusing on a localised cancer when there's a whole-body illness to be addressed, does not strike me as good strategy? #
- @charlesarthur "root cause analysis" and address the problem at source. I'll bet the answer's education, but wld like evidence, not reaction #
- @charlesarthur You've enumerated industries and have methods for solving each individually? Come to that, what does a solution look like? #
- @charlesarthur …to cause? … ? #
- @charlesarthur Oh, that's easy, just fix the economy. 🙂
Expn would not stop women being stereotyped/ghettoed into specific roles, though. # - : Maybe it's coincidence but for the first time I noticed #homebrew eqpt at #Tesco #alcohol pricing http://t.co/dD98RfAR #
