Dear me, this post really is causing a bit of stir and unfortunately it's getting voted down by everyone. Anyway, for those of you that don't know, FHM has another poll where women vote for who they think is the sexiest woman! If anyone is offended by the post and/or by the site, I am sorry and I do regret that.

that we should check our egos at the door if we want more females in this profession
As far as I am concerned, women are more than welcome in computing. I don't really think it has anything to do with our egos though. I'm currently doing my degree and only around 10% of the students are female. Why? I don't know. Perhaps women just don't like computing as much as men? Who knows. The fact is though that women are as free as the next person to enter into the computing industry, especially with today's laws for sexual equality.

Vroom doesn't allow every post, he let's us determine what is appropriate in our community.
What exactly do you mean? My understanding of the Perl Monks system is that any postings to the main sections are reviewed by Vroom or some of the staff before they are allowed up. They can be viewed on the newest nodes before that. If Vroom et al think that the post is inappropriate, it never gets shown. Had that been the case here, I'd gladly have accepted Vroom's decision.
