if i wanted to become a hair stylist (an occupation primarily done by women), i would need to accept a culture that was different than my own...so why cant the same happen with geek culture?<p>The article also goes into many stereotypes and many women arent going into computer science based on these perceived sterotypes.  If we were talking about any other group, the words &quot;racist&quot;, &quot;sexist&quot;, 
Or &quot;bigot&quot; would be thrown around and used to describe the group not accepting the culture.<p>This is a tell-tale sign that it is a power-play move to gain control over another group of people.<p>I also thought that we were supposed to be accepting of everyones culture.  Does this only apply to the privileged few???
