What a Panywaist
Nowhere in this article does the author give one, single, reason why more women are necessary in IT. However, he does use the work "embarrass" 2 times. If there are zero women in any IT department, who's to be embarrassed? Any why be embarrassed? Nick, are you hoping the lack of women in IT is "embarrassing"?
Well guess what dude, we are NOT embarrassed, in the slightest way. This "writer" (who does not deserve that title) is simply revving up his political correctness machine, by stretching any facts he can to support his hollow, empty agenda. He writes about provider relationships and account management, which are rarely IT roles, that we all know are duties handled by marketing and customer relations departments. Nick Heath should be writing for Oprah magazine or the Lifetime Network. What did you major in Nick, Women's Studies? Put down the keyboard, you're late for your nail appointment.
