How exactly were you "Discouraged" from seeking an education and career in programming or "being computer savvy? How has "US Society" done this? Should I used stereotypes to ask for clarification? Like it's more important to own a tricked out car, spinning rims, be a rapper, or have those Air Jordans?
Especially in today's world of free and open source.. you don't even need to buy manuals. You only need the man command and a connection to the net to find documentation online.
Oh... and two more things.... desire and DRIVE.
This whole debate is stupid. There does not need to be any "Equality" in this. Women do not tend to go into these fields. They are naturally fewer numbers of them. And the likelihood that you would have large numbers of them in something as esoteric as GNOME programming is even smaller.
It's pointless to inject racial and gender arguments into this.. Ultimately all I care about is whoever is involved KNOWS WHAT THEY ARE DOING.... If you want to ruin a software product go ahead and start seeking developers based on sex and race and NOT MERIT. Now Flame me for my politically incorrect views.......
