Hmm, you might want to reword that or elaborate, it sounds a little offensive to me.

yeah, the fact that there is no sexist pig smily should be hint enough...

Plus, Liron's Lemur can kick you ass so i wouldnt say stuff like that.. i know my ferrets are damn scared of it...

I didn't mean it as an insult at all. If anything, I meant it as a compliment.

It's not often you (I) see girls that are very good with computers. It's a rarity to me. And not only is she good with computers, she knows more then 95% of the members of this forum. I meant the sexist pig comment as more of sarcasm/joke type. Saying girls aren't allowed to be so smart.. har har.

Lol, well deleted youre right about girls not usually being so into computers or so computer crazed like us freaky guys, but you can on the other hand usually see that girls are oftentimes really talented graphically, liron is proof of that ans o is Myuu.EXE.

May i suggest a globally accepted joke smilie next you your next sexist pig remark then.

:lol::P;)<---this one?

Cheers

Even though I believe this is probably not the correct place to discuss this, I'm going to address this becuase it requires my attention. So in order to not turn this into a "girls and computers" thread, feel free to PM me with any replies or anything you have to say.

My take on the issue is that your interest in computers, as with anything else at such a young age as mine (21), is directly influenced by your upbringing. As a social statistic, young females are usually (directly or indirectly) brought up to show interest, most cases, in subjects which have grown throughout the years to be statistically female-oriented. More "male dominant" subjects and interests, such as agressive sports, computing, machinery, vehicles, are considered, and statistically proven to be, male-dominant fields. That in mind, I find that most young girls are brought up to partake in activities which do not pertain to male-dominant fields, in order to assure their proper integration with society when they grow older and enter the "real world". As far as I see it, this frame of mind only makes sure that these male-dominant or female-dominant fields stay that way.

Fortunately enough for me, I was born and raised in a household which is considered quite liberal when it comes to the children's fields of interest. This comes into play, for instance, with my parent's acceptance of my younger brother playing with plush animals when he was younger. And when it comes to computers, I was using DOS by the time I was 7. I don't recall any of my female friends ever taking interest in computers, but nonetheless, we had one at home and I was encouraged and allowed to use it whenever I pleased, if it interested me.

Today I find the computer field, the market as well and the home-user base, statistically male-dominant. Although, fortunately, this seems to be changing and more females are allowing themselves to devote time to the computer world if it interests them, with less fear of male chauvinism. Although it is true that there are more women partaking in computer activities which pertain to the arts, for example, as opposed to things like programming, although it is my personal belief that female programmers will be on the rise within a few years. I may personally not find interest in programming, but I have encountered more and more females who do in the last couple of years.

Deleted - I wasn't offended. Perhaps your choice of words wasn't the best, but overall I understand that what you were trying to say was: "You're demonstrating interest and enthusiasm in a field, prior to which was considered predominantly male, and I respect that".

Seph - My lemur is harmless. All she does is sit around, watch the Simpsons, and much on cheetos all day. I swear, I don't understand how she got along in the wild, she's the laziest thing. If you irritate her, worse she can do is give you the finger and go back to watching television.
