Re:'The Female Factor' And Other Proven Tricks To Get Into Y... by annableker on Tuesday October 02, 2012 @08:08PM (#4605096)
When I applied, I didn't even think about the fact that I'm female. This article has me super-excited.

I'm surprised it's so low. My guess is that:

1) As geebee said, groups of coding girlfriends are rare (I'm the only one of my girlfriends who's into tech stuff)

2) Women don't like peacocking as much as men, so they suppress a lot of great ideas

3) If women have babies in their twenties, that becomes their first priority

Otherwise, I'm psyched to be a female applicant at this moment of opportunity.
