More Girls Please
The number of women in IT is falling. Are we ultimately destined for a monastic existence? Please don’t let this be true. Quick, someone do something. I will as soon as I level my Druid to 60.

Comments like the one you made on the linked post definately aren’t helping, it’s the kind of behaviour I would expect from the majority of WoW players but not you. Between a Comp Sci degree and playing WoW myself I’m numb to it, but it goes against efforts made by myself and everyone else tyring to encourage more girls into IT related fields.

Hi Jessica, sorry if I offended, but that was the point of my comment; IT guys don’t care and we should be doing something, rather than just leveling wow characters. I’ll try to add a little more clarity to my cynicism from now on.

It’s cool, I know you’re one of the good guys and I appreciate the effort to highlight the subject.
In the spirit of taking a joke - it would help enourmously if someone could organise a ‘Queer Eye’ of most Comp Sci lecture audiences in order to give us a little encouragement.
And they wonder why I picked a desginer over the rest of them…
