Hi Angie,

An excellent talk, really well presented and full of useful information. I don't usually comment on things but seeing as as your talk was all about getting involved I thought I'd take the time to give you some feedback.

My girlfriend (who's a programmer like me) tells me lots of stories about how she's treated at various sites - often in a "She's the girl, she can do the documentation" sort of way. This is so frustrating for me to hear because she's smarter than the average programmer and such a productive worker that she's wasted on clients like this.

As a bloke it's not always easy to spot the subtle (to us) forms of discrimination but with what I learn from my girlfriend, and things like your talk, I thin I'm getting better at it. I like how your talk said it was helpful for me to speak up if I see discrimination. I'll try to do that next time I notice any.

Thanks again,

Brett.
