Jeni's Musings

One possible reason for the apparent “hunger” of male IT workers when a woman appears in their midst is that IT is the ideal arena for socially inadequate males to thrive.

Most men I know working in IT either live at home with their mother, are still single and living in a bedsit or have married plain Jane from next door.

Unless of course you count the ones who claim to be in IT but are actually in “Noo Meeja” (this means they can handle Photoshop and some Flash). You can recognise them by their shades and goatee beards.

Even so I am still surprised at the dearth of women in IT. It would seem an ideal job but what do I know I’m a man!
