[PD] [OT] Re: about sexism is TERMINATE THREAD PLEASE

[Alicia Byer]

Hi everybody,

Maybe I have no valid opinion because I just lurk on this list, but I 
don't appreciate being called "girl" either, I'm in my mid-twenties 
also. And as far as the thread making anybody's skin crawl, I agree with 
Darsh. The kind of terms and attitudes being thrown around about 
gang-bangs and gross sex make me not want to join in any discussions. 
It's just like my supercollider class in college where I was one of two 
women, and the professor kept discussing what one should do to be a real 
"jock" programmer, and everything had to be so macho. It just seems 
dumb. And to whoever it was that said something about "This is how we 
talk on the street", first of all, I don't believe you, and second of 
all, this isn't the street.

Anyway, darsh, I know where you're coming from.

thanks everybody,
Alicia
