I'm a Geek Girl and proud of it! (Score 1)

I'm a geek and I'm a girl. I know what a mantissa is, and a subnet mask, and a stripe set. I know how to program in a couple of languages. Does that make me a rare species?

I can appreciate that some weak-minded people may be turned off by the ratio imbalance, but if you are strong-minded like myself, it doesn't make much difference. As long as you can handle the odd piss-take now and then (and they're getting less as time goes on), give as good as you get, and show them that you mean business, there's really no issue. As for the computer access, that's bollocks. My high school had plenty of computers, but for some reason I was the only girl in the class. I guess the others were simply not interested.

I chose this industry because it interested me, and BECAUSE it was full of guys. Mmmm Male smorgasboard! Most geek guys are not complete wankers, they are sensitive intelligent individuals who are often overlooked because of their social stigma. I am happliy engaged to one. Ok from time to time we find ourselves having 'how many spaces do you indent your code' pillowtalk, but that's half the fun :)

I actually enjoy competing against the guys and beating them in exams/assignments etc (some of them don't like it much!). I also enjoy wearing sexy stuff to work to give the poor bastards some excitement for the day :) *devilish grin*
