Cos then I would have to cover for her while she picks up the kids from school, add an extra UPS for the fan heater under her desk cos she feels the cold but can't wear sensible clothing, carry her workload when she spends worktime organising "family stuff" and covering kids sick days (while her shiftless husband does nothing), give up any hope of her answering her phone on the weekend for callout, and have the decisions of the bosses swayed by who wears the smallest amount of clothing (ie. her).

Seriously, all female tactics I have witnessed in 19 years of working in IT. Prostitutes, tea ladies and HR, thats all the IT-related trades women should be in.

And I;m not posting anonymously! bring it on!
