Re^4: Women in Perl - Ada Lovelace Day

Mkay, so Abigail is a guy despite the appearance. You are a guy despite what some people may think. I am a guy despite what some people tend to think and what some version of (I think) Mastering Perl 5 wrote. How do we know there are not quite a few well known members of the community that just use a gender neutral (or male sounding) nick and are female? :-)

As moritz pointed out, what we see online mirrors what we see offline both at public conferences and in our workplaces. There is therefore no reason to suspect that there is a large pool of women posting anonymously online.	[reply]
