I have noticed that I'm dealing with more women in tech support than I did nearly ten years ago. Though I still regularly talk to people who assume I'm a man, but not as often. The people calling in to get help are as likely to be women, as well. The biggest divide is age in the industry I'm working with, the older insurance and construction people just purely hate working with computers and don't seem to care what the gender is of the person helping. They'd be happy to work with a trained cormorant if it would get their computers working.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Gah, can anyone familiar with Britain in the 80s help my failing memory? What was the name of the demographic kinda similar to preppies?

That's funny, because Lifelong Learning is the name of our department! Continuing Education makes nurses go nutty because it means something very specific to them that is not Lifelong Learning!

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

Is this entirely voluntary? Is at least some of this if a man is being paid more than a woman with the same skills, does he get laid off and then in this economy, take what work he can get which may not be in his profession?

Thank you! Sloane Rangers. I can't believe the shit I forget. Especially considering I was tangentially one for a hot second.

They'd be happy to work with a trained cormorant if it would get their computers working.

But would they insist on a male cormorant? (sorry, couldn't resist)

I work for an association for the design and construction industry and we're seeing more women - architects, engineers, contractors. On the whole a good thing; the only downside is that we now have lines in the women's room at our conferences.
