It's getting silly. At work, you are engineer, that's all.

I've started applying the "ginger test". (As in redhead) If it would become ridiculous when substituting "ginger" for woman, girl, or female in an article, then I can be certain that the article is ridiculous.

"whats it like being the only redheaded person in the office and do you think your red hair affects your performance as a coder..."

Totally right. Like gingers, women have no history of being discriminated against, harassed, or ostracized, certainly not in our industry. Who do they and their white knights think they are, acting like women sometimes get treated differently?!
