Home alone with milk tea & a good carrot cake

i love the internets.

Being male, as a programmer, means:

1 Not having to wonder whether you're well-known in your community simply for being "the female one".

2 The freedom to do your job without anyone insinuating that you only got hired because of affirmative action, or because of the anatomy you happen to possess.

3 Joining in appreciation of the sex object du jour without having to be gay or bisexual.

4 Having your desk near the entrance to your office without visitors assuming you're the receptionist.

5 Telling someone to RTFM without being accused of PMS.

6 The freedom to make mistakes or say stupid things without worrying about it getting added to the pile of "why women suck at computer stuff".

7 Attending a technical talk without people assuming that you're only there because your boyfriend dragged you along with him.

8 Attending job fairs without having anyone suggest you look for secretarial work instead.

9 Never being asked whether you got lost upon entering a computer science classroom.

10 Being praised for the content of your writing rather than the neatness of your handwriting.

11 Not having to explain why the term "gentlemen" doesn't include you.

12 Listening to speakers refer to an inanimate software construct as "this guy" without getting distracted.

13 Having colleagues who close the door when they talk to you.

14 Never having anyone suggest that you slept your way into getting a bug fixed.

15 Being appreciated as a competent professional rather than as an instrument for calming down troublesome people or manipulating disagreeable ones.

16 Not having to think about what gender you are.

the rest of the list here.
