Ken Hess, You're a sexist. In your Linux Blog, specifically the article about Linux going MLM (Multi-level Marketing) a la AmWay, he makes the despicable comment "Women will trade-in their old school Tupperware parties..."
Aside from the fact that this is a 1950's throwback, and Tupperware products are now available at any WalMart, supermarket, and even some convenience stores, instead of the routes of MLM from the Eisenhower administration, aside from the fact that most women (I don't have stats but I will if it comes to it) are employed elsewhere (if they are employed--no, I won't comment on the state of the current economy), and most by far are not in the now no-longer-memetic Tupperware MLM system.
Okay, fine--stats.
Women in computers, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics is around 907,000. Oh, and that's just last year. Women in ALL forms of retail sales (of which Tupperware sales, AmWay, etc. are a subset, is at 866,000, acoording to the same Bureau of Labor Statistics, again, for last year.
Know your facts and think about how you sound before you go spouting hate.
