Umm... I can't think of any color-examples at the moment, but as for the females and big companies thing, well, Yahoo's CEO is a female. Google's Security head is a female (last i checked).

Apart from big companies, DefCon's team has a lot of females in it. So the "HackerScene" isn't just about males

They're exceptions to the rule of experience; or else there wouldn't be much point behind the feminist movement.

I mean, I understand your point... But it really is akin to saying we're in a post-racial America because the American President is Black.
