Stop wasting time and resources
I wish you would do a poll of Tech Republic members and see how many think this matters.
Women are as represented in I.T. as they want to be. Case in point is my 25 year college graduate daughter. I explained to her the options for a career in I.T. and how in some larger organizations that just being female would give her an advantage because of some artificial quota that was created for diversity. She didn't care. She doesn???t want to do that for a living.
The truth of the matter is that good I.T. is good I.T. regardless of the sex of the provider.
Instead of wasting time writing articles bemoaning an irrelevant fact Tech Republic should write about something that might actually be usable.
