		<description>I meant "personally" know. Like, know and talk to. Do you personally know countless men?

Anyways, my point was that not all women are terrible at technology.

I still find it funny that Masterson used an old person in his example of why all women are hopeless in tech.

His website has "probably more than 10 million comments on it" because he's good at insulting the opposite sex, and apparently a lot of people starkly agree and disagree with his views. But it really doesn't take that much skill to make a website, especially one that is a blog.

Hey, go look at his web host and tell me what you see.</description>

		<description>"I know at least 50 girls that can program better than Dick Masterson could."

And I know countless men who can program better than all those 50 girls put together - I being one of them.And many of those men, like myself, don't pursue programming as a career.

Dick, in his own words, is a "Writer, American zeitgeist, and dedicated homme vivant."I am a company lawyer.There's no fucking big deal with being able to program.But programming better than someone?Only a fool will say that for some random programmer chicks in comparison with Dick.Does any of those girls own their website, which is more than 3 years old, has more than 3 million hits and probably more than 10 million comments on it?No?Then fuck off.</description>

		<description>Listen to yourself!
SHE IS AN OLD LADY.
Old people in general suck at technology.
I know at least 50 girls that can program better than Dick Masterson could. Many of them pursuing programming as a career. I'd bet the only thing he's even good at is insulting the opposite sex.</description>

		<description>Yes, I don't know much about high level computing(as I said), but I have a software(what I call the IP decrypter) that tells me what an encrypted IP is.

I don't know how the fuck it works, but it works.You know what it is?The IP Man-Hash.You should try it sometime, and try to track me down.Oh, but you can't, because I change my IP every half an hour.

Hmmmm.....now how are you going to respond to this?Oh yes!Is it, 'other people can change their IPs too' ?- well I don't give a fuck, you know why?Coz I have found that every man that the IP decrypter says is a woman, happened to BE a woman.Now STFU and GTFO.</description>

		<description>There's no such thing as an IP decrypter. (I knew that before I googled it, but for proof, it only pulls 4 pages of results and none of them actually have such a program. One has a script for "dotless" URLs, one is a message board asking about something encrypted with a specific hash function, MD5, and the rest are junk sites that pretend to have whatever you search for.) The hash is just some sort of cryptographic function. I think it's DES or some derivative thereof because it's 13 characters, and most hashes are some multiple of 8 characters. You know why there's no such thing as an IP decrypter? Because any IP could be encrypted with any imaginable hash function, and you could use the same hash function to encrypt any string of characters, not just an IP. Nothing you are saying makes any fucking sense. I think YOU are the one who sucks at computers. Also, there you go with a hybrid of the No True Scotsman fallacy and ad hominem attacks by saying I'm female. Your arguments suck. I want you to back up your claims. You're looking to be full of bullshit right now. And Psiros, I was asking him questions I either knew the fucking answer to or have a good idea of the answer to, because I wanted to know if he really knew what he was talking about. I thought maybe there was a language barrier, but now I'm sure he's lying. Sooner or later you run into someone who knows what they're talking about, and then you lose.</description>

		<description>About your first point.Have you noticed that the majority of great inventors, thinkers, philosophers, businessmen, politicians, social reformers etc. were born in villages?

What do you need to solve a mathematical problem?A pencil/pen, some paper and geometrical instruments if needed.The people who want to solve them will mostly do so.The few women in hard sciences prove my point.

These women don't go around telling people that women are equally capable as men, they are too busy doing the work of men.They are intelligent enough to understand that they are exceptional.That's why Mrs. Hopper never preached jack-shit about women not being included or given equal oppurtunity in U.S army.

All human beings can improve their spatial visualization by playing video games, driving at ridiculously high velocities, or jumping off cliffs into water bodies.Women are no exception.But that doesn't mean that she is going to be as capable in spatial skills as a man with the same training.

Lastly, it is interesting, that by repeatedly pointing out the uselessness of 'girly' things and activities and the tremendous value of manly things and activities, you prove Dick's basic point---Menarebetterthanwomen.

Thank you - RB</description>

		<description>Look I can easily give you a load of info from searching shit up on the net, but an IP decrypter is an IP decrypter.I'm not a software developer.I don't know anything about high-level computing beyond some C, Java, HTML, Fox Pro and some other langs.

But, when I want to have something, I get it and when I have to know something, I know it..That's why I'm a man, and you, my friend, are a whimmin.Guess how I knew that?IP decrypter?Naah, too much trouble----&#62;&#62;Common fucking Sense.</description>

		<description>What do you mean, an "Ip decrypter"? Do you by any chance mean a hash cracker? Which program did you use? What type of hash function is it? How did you identify someone's gender with an IP? (Assuming they don't use the same IP for a website with a truthful WHOIS or something similar.) You expect I'm ignorant, don't you? I'm not as stupid as you look.</description>

		<description>Ask yourself this question: why do kids in rural areas go into farming related fields much more often than kids in the suburbs and city? The answer is in the environment in which they were raised. "But no amount of making a neat freak kid play in the dirt is going to make him a farmer!" you might naively state. Yes, but I have specifically said that there is a certain percentage of people who are hard-set in what they are, no matter what the influence. My point is that the majority of kids raised on the farm and comfortable with that world would have no interest in it whatsoever, and might even be actively disgusted by it, if they grew up in the city. Same for women and computers. There will always be a few little girls practically born with a mouse in their hand, and I've seen first hand that Barbies owned by such girls will simply be found in a dusty pile of play makeup, dolls, and other girly crap that her parents bought for her and she doesn't want anything to do with. However, most girls would be ok with either, and since everyone expects that she wants to, she picks that up. She may even be actively pushed away from computers and science by her peers, if she ever does start to pick up an interest in these. Studies show that women improve their spatial visualization through playing video games, and they can bridge the gap by playing, which will make it more likely for them to want to be engineers and other scientists. (http://www.news.utoronto.ca/bin6/070927-3416.asp I actually cite my sources when being more specific than simple statistics.) If these girls had been playing since they were young, their spatial skills would already be where they should be. I've seen it before: give a young girl Mario and a old IBM clone instead of Polly Pockets and she'll game, and engineer, right along with the boys.</description>

		<description>Yes, Ashley's is another example of a woman using personal experiences to disprove Dick's points.

Solomon was referring to Ben's statement when he said 'full of hate....'And if you notice, 90% of the dissenting men here are women.Get an Ip decrypter and change their Ip hashes to Ip addresses.I've done it with a few 'men' here, and they all turned out to be women.Enough said?</description>

		<description>I disagree with you.If half of the women graduating were engineers, then the male:female ratio in all of the major software and mainstream engineering companies wouldn't have been 3:1.Also, the upper level science classes of any university wouldn't have been filled by men.You have gotten your statistics wrong.

It has been proven through many studies, which I do not care to cite, that most women have little aptitude toward the hard sciences.If you ignore these studies and the real statistics, and still say that there is a 'societal push' involved, then I can't say anything else.

Computers and video games are a 'boy thing' because they ARE boy things.Do not tell me that American society is so biased against girls that it doesn't encourage video games for girls.How many girl gamers do you know?How many  independent woman software developers and/or hackers do you know?If a girl wants to be a pc geek, she would be one.No amount of coaxing to play with barbie dolls would make that girl do otherwise.

Please do not post your ignorant feminist ramblings here.Go post them on some other site.No matter how much you feminists try to prove otherwise, girls and boys, men and women can never do the same things.</description>

		<description>I'm saying that the reason that some women have "little or no aptitude towards technical fields" is because their exposure to such fields at a young age is limited or even actively curtailed by society. Half of people graduating with an engineering degree today are women, because there isn't much of an active societal push against a woman being an engineer, because no one tells little girls that engineering is a boy thing, and because of the successful children outreach programs run by groups such as Society of Women Engineers and Women in Engineering. However, society still paints computers and video games as a 'boy thing', and a lot of girls have a natural interest in them but just aren't part of the small percent of people that aren't affected by other people's expectations, and they find a new interest. I'm saying that if society, sadly including children's own peer groups, ceased to assign a gender to working with computers, and dropped the stigma it has for females in computers (and its distrust and dislike for computer "nerds" in general), more young women would pursue computers as a natural interest, and most people who do what they are drawn to over their lifetime are good at it because people continue to like what they can do well, and because they will put maximum effort into it.</description>

		<description>Look, the impact of stereotypes exist because the stereotypes exist.Just because a few women out there are capable of working with computers doesn't mean they all are.Most women have little or no aptitude towards technical fields.Most men do.Again, some men also pursue non-technical fields because they are different from the male stereotypes.

People who are different from their group will always try to be different.And most often, in society today, they will succeed.But applying the uniqueness of those few people to their whole group as a general is nothing but stupidity.Feminists always try to wrongly do this.That's because they are extremely stupid.</description>

		<description>Yes, thank you for mentioning the impact of stereotypes. Like it or not, the majority of people are melded by the world around them, only a small, special few make their own way completely. This is why there are so few women in certain roles, like computers. On the positive side, this means that if you are with a woman who joined such a role because of her own personal desire and drive (rather than money and non-merit positions), you will be working with one of the best, most motivated, independent people out there. Welcome to the STEM disciplines.</description>

		<description>Women know only how to spread their legs and fill their holes, up and down.  When their mouths are not fill with dicks, they never stop talking.</description>

		<description>Well I was disappointed to find not a single girl doing my Computer &#38; Network Technology degree, but I was surprised to find a nice girl studying "Ethical Hacking"... Unless it was Business Computing, not sure. In any case, I just don't think the majority of women -- in modern "Western Society" at least, whatever that actually is -- find technology appealing because of their childhood indoctrination to female stereotypes.</description>
