IT as extreme sport...
"How many women want to work in the Testosterone filles IT Industry?"
Say what?
This must be a different IT industry than the one I work in! Maybe if there was more testosterone, it would be more attractive? As it is, much of IT today is dull, repetitive, boring, process-bound, uninteresting, flatulent, did I say tedious already? The common foot-soldier of IT needs to be thick-skinned, thick-necked, work well in a cardboard box cut off from the world of social interactions for long periods, be prepared to take orders from someone who thinks they know IT because they installed an app on their phone and synch'd their email to it, be on call 24x7x365 and then be roundly abused for somebody else's code written a long time ago in an office far, far away when it breaks.
Most women I know who started in IT have long since moved on to other (and better) things. Only the stubborn autists remain... some women and a lot of men...
Biting the hand that feeds IT
