Not necessarily to flame but would it be explained the logic behind
taking a class "Women and Computers" which sends the message "males need
not apply" to do a project about a presumed message in "Computers/Science/
Engineering" of "females need not apply". I sincerely would like to know
instead of having to assume that this is just a case of bigoted people trying
to preserve/obtain power for themselves based on bigotry.
