Hi Holly,Harrison,

One of the biggest mind bogglers to me is how for so many years male-dominated businesses could justify cutting off over half the population when making hiring considerations, promotions, and appointments. It seems that someone even back in the darker days of women's rights should have been able to see what that could do to their potential profitability.

I'm not Ye Olde Women's Activist, but I just can't fathom how today men still dominate the technology field. I'm in IS, and I'm left wondering how even with a degree that's in demand, I'm going to fare in such a male dominated sector. Gee...it's enough to make me start a business!
