Exactly, right!

People see that software development is predominately male, and they 
assume "Oh, it *MUST* be because those EVIL, SEXIST men are TRYING to 
keep women out!" That genuinely pisses me off, what the hell is this, 
1920? When people actually *wanted* to join men's clubs and such 
post-college fraternities? For f...*couch*..."freaks" sake, one of the 
things I hate MOST about software dev is that it's such a saus...is that 
it's all guys.

There's only one kind of sexism in this profession, and that's the kind 
that compels people with more many and self-importance than actual sense 
to create computer science scholarships which explicitly state: "No, 
you're not eligible *because* you're a man." Funny thing, I've never 
seen a scholarship that had a rule against women. And yet somehow 
programming is allegedly full of women-hating men? Fucking crock of shit.
