That means I didn’t get to read your further thoughts on the matter.

Oh yes, I’ve started reading your blog again. You have been busy updating it. I used to have one of these once upon a time.

Or, at least, it seems so to me now. Over here, (and my version of over here, not the over here what-where-we-grew-up, as that is a different case entirely) there are plenty of chicks at the various geek-meets that go on. In fact, one of the famous mobile phone OS places has a high proportion of geek chicks. So girls in tech, and girls who go to meetings about tech. (The last pm meeting here even had a lactating girl feeding her progeny. And there was at least one more girl, too.) Then again, that might just be where I am. It is a very strange place.

As for role models, my daughter wishes to be an author when she grows up. (As opposed to being a butterfly, which was what she wanted when she was wee(er).) She reads books by female authors, she listens to female pop stars, and they get talks from engineering types (with lumpy jumpers) from the uni in school. Then again, that might just be my daughter. :)

If it isn’t a mean thing to ask, are those women who don’t feel accepted older than you? Younger? Is it a generational thing? A class thing? An educational thing? Not that I am saying you are old, or nothing, you understand… ;)
