Gender Equivalence

[sanitised to remove the name of the website - you know who you are ;-)]

A few days ago (at the time of writing), a news site that I sometimes contribute to linked to an article about gender issues affecting women’s entry into IT. The article was quite provocative and I think that I’m being fair when I describe the tone of the article as “feministic”. Anyone who knows me well can probably guess what happened next… I decided to make “gender issues in IT” the topic of my fourth article for that site.

Unfortunately, this article was rejected. And through the experience, I think that I’ve learned a few things. I’ve taken the criticism on board, and the truth is that the article could have been better executed. The subject matter is important to me and the article - in both conception and execution - isn’t representative of my best efforts. However…

I’ve created this wordpress based site to contain some of my materials relating to the subject of gender. I’m not sure, at this point, what the eventual scope of the site will be.

Expect to see the occasional article and more information about my philisophy of gender politics.

The site can also be used as the central resource for progress information on the book.
