>But, with the exception of a rare few, it seems that neither male nor female programmers give a rat’s ass about fashion.

Fantastic. My sister got on my case about not dressing up or, as she called it, 'showing off my body'. You're only young once, she said.

Which, I said, is why I don't want to waste my time thinking about clothes when I'd rather program. Sure, I occasionally like dressing up, but I really could care less about whether my outfits are new and original each day.

Also, nothing is more insulting than going to a programming meeting, throwing in my 2 cents, and having a guy come up to me afterwards only to comment on my earrings.
