Reflections From a Murky Pond

The paucity of women in the IT sector of the workplace hit the news again recently when Michael Arrington from TechCrunch posted an article asking women to stop blaming the men for that stark gender disparity. As expected, Feminists came out of the woodwork to “comment” on the article and verbally assault the regular patrons of the site.

Mr. Arrington is very, very right; women shouldn’t blame men – at least the men in IT – for the fact that there are few women in the various technology fields. We want more women in IT!

The morale boost and improvement to the work atmosphere alone makes having more women it IT something that we crave. 😉

Nice Racks! We Do So Need More Women In IT

That would be a damn sight – literally – better than the ugly, ugly truth of life and lifeforms in the data center.

Reality Is Often Unpleasant, Especially In IT

So please, ladies – and you Feminists too – don’t blame the men in IT for you’re not being well-represented in technology fields. We want you!

As it stands now, we’re so isolated from women that many IT types who read this post will likely look at the beautiful, half-naked women in the first set of images for a moment and then go on study in-depth and comment upon the actual racks, cable management, and using FreeBSD vs other operating systems They will likely even notice whether or not the ladies are wearing anti-static clips and cables.

Yeah, it’s that bad!

When it comes to dealing with animals that are preying on shipping off the coast of Somalia in Africa it seems that people from the Civilized World are showing the critical flaws in their countries’ educational system. They fail to understand the basic drives of the predator and/or the scavenger, and are pathetically bad at basic arithmetic as well.

1 Pirate + 1 Bullet = 1 Less Pirate

Come on people! Even if you can’t get a grasp on the idea of shifting the Risk vs. Reward equation so that it is no longer weighted in favor of the Somali pirates, you should be able to handle a bit of basic math. 😉
