I face on frequent occasions when with my husband people talking to him or as though he is the techie rather than me. Often resulting in vague staring on his part being he is a landscape gardener and it took my years of fighting before he even used a computer. I guess, the assumption I sort of accepted all my life for one reason or another – recently though it has really started to become obvious to me and nark me greatly. I am leaving my job and there is not even one woman candiate for a multimedia manager, mainly cos it appears this job entails 50% design 50% development. Way I see it, what as a woman you can do is pass the knowledge on – I am teaching 2 female juniors currently and find it greatly rewarding and empowering. All of this has the oddness of turning me into a mini techie feminist – which is not my personality at all, I am often the opposite about these things and don’t see any difference in the sexes. Maybe it’s time for a female techie little revolution… can you burn mice like bras 🙂
