I'm in IT, which is a male dominated profession if I've ever seen one. No equal opportunity hires ... or those who are find other places to work, very quickly. For the most part, the women who I work with - who've done this long enough to survive the brutal "weed-outs" - are meticulous, thorough, and very, very smart.
They need to be, because (IMO) they can't work the stupid hours that men do. I've had positions where I've had to put in 24, 48, or 72 hours straight. 120 hours a week, for an extended time, was not unusual on one project. Ergo, guys do the IT jobs not in spite of women's efforts, but because there are so few women who physically can do them, and fewer still who want to.
And don't get me started on "Power Company Lineman", or any number of other well-paid, physical jobs.
Some ladies do have a great temperament for working with the computer gear. They tend to be harder to hassle.
And somehow, “Wichita Linewoman” wouldn’t be the same.
