&gt;getting along takes work, takes giving people the benefit of the doubt, and it takes leaving your ego at the door.<p>And once again, why do you think that women haven&#x27;t already examined this and realized that the interactions they have in certain environments are something beyond needing a little understanding? It&#x27;s not like women walking into hackerspaces haven&#x27;t been around nerdy, awkward men before- half of them are nerdy, awkward women.<p>Implying there&#x27;s a simple solution that is summed up as &quot;women don&#x27;t understand!&quot; is ridiculous.
