Shouldn't "Male and called Steve" be an option? As in: among all programmer populations the number of women is roughly equal to the number of men called Steve.


How do women named Steve affect this hypothesis?


The best hacker I ever collaborated with was a woman. Best at analysis and project management, too. She forgot more than most people we dealt with ever knew. I think she got so tired of being called "Honey" that she folded up her tent and is now selling bagels or cars or something like that. What a shame. Patricia, if you're reading this, email me!


I voted for both "Male" and "Android", since my girlfriend tells me that I frequently remind her of Data.


A girl on the Internet?

Come on, there must be at least one female in here.

Edit: Looks like we found one.


A big shout out to our feminine and androgynous members! Glad you're with us!
