I mean, I really understand why someone would hate that wallpaper-- especially as a default. I think it's a strawman to say that equality is ignoring the differences between males and females. People just want a little respect and to be taken seriously, and I totally get that. But I think there's a really backwards justification when it comes to sexism in tech-- "There are so few women that it *must* be because of sexism". It's not true and I just get really tired of hearing it. My personal thoughts on the matter is that it's because geeks are an easy target, and there's a lot of vicious anti-intellectual subtext to go along with that line of reasoning, too. -Louis On Sun, Feb 10, 2013 at 11:40 AM, Ralf Mardorf <ralf.mardorf@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > On Sun, 2013-02-10 at 11:16 -0800, Louis Gorenfeld wrote: >> "almost female-free mailing list" > > Most "active" members seem to be males.
