Male or female??

[piersk]

Ok, here's something that Ive been wondering for all of about 24 seconds...

The majority of programmers are (without meaning to be sexist) male, are they not? Well, lets put this to the test.

Dont really need any text in your reply, just vote in the poll...

I guess I'm not in the majority.... but I've been use to that since college. I'd like to know who the other fellow female programmers are though.

Out of the 4 student programmers in my office - I work on a college campus - I'm the only female. But of my bosses two out of the three are female. Interesting.

PHP Code:

class Mufin {

    var $sex;
    var $age;
    var $height;
    var $weight;
    var $income;

    function Mufin($a) {
        $this->sex = $a['sex'];
        $this->age = $a['age'];
        $this->height = $a['height'];
        $this->weight = $a['weight'];
        $this->income = $a['income'];
    }
}

$mrmufin = new Mufin(array('age'=>4,'sex'=>'m','height'=>'70 inches','weight'=>'165 lbs','income'=>0,));
$msmufin = new Mufin(array('age'=>32,'sex'=>'f','height'=>'60 inches','weight'=>'105 lbs','income'=>'lots',));


Any more questions?

Ole fashioned male progammur....zzzz

[marianna]

I'm female

In undergrad, there was a slight difference between the number of males and females, but in grad school it's severe
I also work and am one of 2 females in my group of 18

Very true that most of the techie folks are guys.
In my college:-
Course1 :
30 students (22 males, 8 females)
Course2:
20 students (17 males, 3 females)

I happen to be lucky to be in course1. more girlz <evil grin>

International units? You mean like weight in 'stones', height in 'hands' and age in UNIX timestamps?

Hmmm... but I never recall ever claiming to be a civilised person.

[ShawnD]
