In the name of god<br />Dear All<br />To me a gender biased ,does not make any sense,only based on theoretical p.o.v. According to my studies,IT and its sub-devisions can be define in three levels:producing stage,planning how to use IT, and consuming stage. most women stands at the 3rd stage.Mainly becaue they were not the first target. IT WAS APPLIED FOE THE ECONOMIC PURPOSES,only at the level of directors,managers of banks and so on.If you take a look at the history of technologo,mainly instructional part,you will notice that with the coming age of each technology,the same story was repeated,mainly during the time of T>V>booming,when women were used for advertisment of goods.Now at the bigining of the 21st century the same story is being repeeated.I would like to ask you wether ,in islamic countries the situations are the same?Women at the decision making levels use it or others? To me thiking of s.w.,h.w. and human ware and the present situation ,isssss one subject,and using women for the sake of men is another one. through out the history of mankind,wether we had acces to e-....or not men doninated ,or governd the world. The final but not the end queston ,is why.

You say that the process is complicated by speaking about a gender bias. I'm not clear if you would rather we didn't speak about the bias, or if you disagree with its existence in the first place. Either way I disagree with you. The bias, as I see it is self-evident - there are many more men involved in information communications networking than women.That's a problem, and it's one we need to work to change.<br />We can disagree on the causes of that bias, and on the implications of that bias, but not that it exists.<br />Whilst I tend to think you are right to say that being raised to do the 'man-stuff' has little to do with our abilities to do good tech development work, I'd say it's the daily assumptions about whether or not we were raised that way, that has everything to do with the chances we get to do good tech development work.<br />And how do we change those assumptions? By challenging them with exactly the sorts of work that Cris Ojeda is doing, and acknowledging that the biased assumptions are there (and need to be overcome) in the first place
