Female Computer Nerds Unite!

Big fucking shocker:
USA Today reported that:
Women and some racial minorities are “significantly underrepresented” in the U.S. technology industry, according to a new study from the industry’s trade group. Women made up 32% of the tech work force in 2004, a drop from 41% at its peak in 1996. That’s largely because of the shrinking number of administrative jobs in the tech industry, the Arlington, Va.-based Information Technology Association of America said.
Niiiice! It wasn’t depressing enough that women are underrepresented in the tech industry — we now have the glorious explanation of a decrease in “administrative” jobs. I HATE being reminded of how many women hold secretarial positions while the men think and make it big.
Grrrrr.
