| 18:00:18 | Lucifer | it is time to get started |
| 18:00:23 | Lucifer | right loglady? |
| 18:00:36 | Lucifer | Topic is: Recruiting women :: Tuesday 7pm CST, 8pm EST |
| 18:00:58 | Lucifer | and to answer se7en's question... recruiting for Virus |
| 18:01:19 | Sat | Why do we need women to be infected? |
| 18:01:24 | Lucifer | Women have been a minority since the beginning of CoV |
| 18:01:38 | Lucifer | from time to time someone will ask why, and perhaps suggest it is a problem |
| 18:02:17 | Lucifer | anyone care to field Sat's question? |
| 18:02:25 | Lucifer | or was that rhetorical? |
| 18:02:32 | Sat | I'm curious |
| 18:02:45 | Lucifer | Would #virus be more fun with more women? |
| 18:02:55 | Sat | certainly |
| 18:03:00 | Lucifer | how about the bbs or list or f2f events? |
| 18:03:29 | rhino | first easy attempt at an answer: to achieve a balance closer to the real world? |
| 18:04:01 | rhino | are the topics and mode of the discussions affected by the demographics here? |
| 18:04:03 | Lucifer | maybe there is an implicit assumption that without appealing to women the CoV will never gain much momentum |
| 18:04:18 | Sat | * Sat sorta thinks that. |
| 18:04:20 | Lucifer | rhino, yes, and vice versa |
| 18:04:35 | Sat | for memes to really take hold they need to be passed to kids. |
| 18:04:43 | Sat | womon are the keepers of culture |
| 18:04:51 | Sat | wemon^ |
| 18:04:54 | Sat | errr |
| 18:05:00 | Sat | * Sat hangs his head |
| 18:05:04 | Lucifer | otoh, science and math have a lot of momentum |
| 18:05:06 | rhino | yes, women are waiting for you when you log out, whatever you say here |
| 18:05:34 | Lucifer | rhino, does the world of chess need more women? |
| 18:05:38 | Sat | along those lines, rhino, I am reluctant to invite my fem friends here |
| 18:05:48 | Lucifer | Sat, does the field of programming need more women? |
| 18:06:06 | Sat | only if it enhances it in some way |
| 18:06:21 | Sat | I think the whole question is sexist |
