women

I am totally for women speaking out not only against harassment, but also in support of their right to be open about their love for sex, whether mindless or meaningful. What I find very weak about these women’s concept, however, is their dependence on the image of a scantily-clad slut to further such a well-intentioned cause.

A hundred years after the first International Women's Day, Filipinas still do not have power over events only women face—risks...

It is through the perversion of the religious element in woman, playing upon her hopes and fears of the future, holding this life with all its high duties in abeyance to that which is to come, that she and the children she has trained have been so completely subjugated by priestcraft and superstition. -- Elizabeth Cady Stanton

If there's one thing I like about my industry is that the issue of gender hardly comes up. Sure, there was this disastrous "IT pageant" some people tried to organize a few years ago, but then the outraged reactions to it only serves to reinforce my point. I've never been referred to as a "lady programmer" or "lady IT consultant". If anyone were ever called that, our first reaction would probably be "Weird, I've never heard of the Lady programming language".
