It seems at the Techcrunch Geek n’ Rolla they’re talking about how to get more women into tech start-ups. One of the panellists has created a survey to take a look at the equalities (or otherwise) between women and men in tech.

With a question like this, what do you think the outcome of this survey will be?

biased, non?

I’d never actually heard of Silicon Stillettos before. It’s a social networking site for women in tech. Their tagline is: “It’s time to put your heels on!” I know, how about we have another site called “Developer Divas” or “Sexy SEOs”. I really don’t want to go into the argument again, but this is a great example of the faux-feminism that really gets my goat.

You can’t giggle over shoes and make-up one minute, then complain about the old boy’s club the next. It sort of undermines your credibility.
