OK, I'll bite. Sides of this issue you might not be consideringOK, I'll bite. Sides of this issue you might not be consideringPosted Aug 25, 2009 20:15 UTC (Tue) by nix (subscriber, #2304)In reply to: OK, I'll bite. Sides of this issue you might not be considering by forthy Parent article: FSF to host a mini-summit on Women in Free Software
What matters a lot to women is if you are wealthy or at least care about wealth.Well, free software developers are not badly paid, certainly not worse than your average non-free-software developer, so if this was the controlling factor, it would be falsifed thereby. But in fact it isn't. Do you actually know any women? Hint: female motivations are every bit as complex and multifaceted as male ones (hell, more so) and it is erroneous to say 'all women X' for almost any value of X. (In any case, this bit of pop evo-psych applies to mating strategies. We're interested here in why so few women become free software developers, not in few male free software developers get dates, if indeed this is true, which it probably isn't unless you have some other major deficit. TBH this latter effect is of interest to nobody but male free software developers.)
