Comment on Notes from UPenn's Forum on Brogramming and Sexism in Computer Science

Comments

A quick (but not comprehensive, conclusive, or popularly agreed upon!) guide for determining if you plan on doing something sexist, ask yourself:

    "Is this for Men?  Or is this for People?"
e.g. Advertising/Hiring "all-female servants" is for men. "Serving food and drinks" is for people.

Side-note: If you ever think to respond with "But what about lesbians?" you are attempting to justify something sexist. Start over and cater to People.

Yes! (And what about men who aren't interested in women, too?)
