I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
If a team for a project happens to be made up entirely of men, do people normally feel a need to point that out? I just did a show with an all female tech team and a few times someone brought up the "all-girl" or "all-women" thing.
And I just got a request to interview with an all-female theatre company.

No, because all-male, or at least male-dominated, is assumed to be the default.

Right. I asked the wrong question.
Would any of you be inclined to point out an all-female or all-non-gender-based demographic?
I can't quite put my finger why it seemed odd to me in this situation.

Is it that unusual in your profession?

All-female? I guess it's less common than all-male, but then I'm not around to notice the all-male situations.
I think there are probably more women working in theatre (in non-performance roles) in Chicago than elsewhere. Percentage-wise at least. So it doesn't seem so unusual to me.

This doesn't seem weird to me, but, then again, a couple of women in my office feel the need to point out whenever people are wearing similar colors. Like we're in high school or something.

In my field, the fact that when we put together a tiger team (I hate that term for no explicable reason) on a project, it was all women and one guy was remarkable. However, this (broader) field has been dealing with gender issue (incl. litigation) for a while, despite the numbers being better than some others. Hell, in my interviews over a decade ago, I was told I "wouldn't last because girls don't" by some ass. To my great delight, he got eliminated just 10 years to retirement in a layoff. From a specialized enough position that it was hard for him to find work. Yeah, I'm cold. But though I knew the attitudes were there, 22 year old me hadn't been slapped in the face with it like that ever before. I'm still cranky. And I'm still there, with a promotion. Ass.
So to say.. sometimes it is noteworthy. It's a little annoying because you'd like to think it shouldn't be, but...it's still an issue in so many places.

What's a tiger team? I think a tigger team might be more fun.
