if i wanted to become a hair stylist (an occupation primarily done by women), i would need to accept a culture that was different than my own...so why cant the same happen with geek culture?

The article also goes into many stereotypes and many women arent going into computer science based on these perceived sterotypes. If we were talking about any other group, the words "racist", "sexist", Or "bigot" would be thrown around and used to describe the group not accepting the culture.

This is a tell-tale sign that it is a power-play move to gain control over another group of people.

I also thought that we were supposed to be accepting of everyones culture. Does this only apply to the privileged few???
