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".
