HOWTO Encourage Women in Linux
Vals' HOWTO is the second-most-read story for the day. Hurray! The
majority
of the comments are from men, many of them negative. They are entitled
to
their opinions- I would like to see more supportive posts. It takes a
couple
minutes to post, no registration required.>>
I went and posted this morning - and raged a bit at some of the
blind-sided comments. There are many "Well, my mom/aunt/sister/wife use
linux, so I don't think this article is needed" posts there. I think we
can come up with some intelligent responses stating that just because
they know ONE woman who uses linux doesn't mean that there isn't any
sexism/unfairness in the linux community.
