Sci/Tech Many More Girls Blog, Create, And Build Websites Than Boys

[TheDamien]

If you put those efforts in their place, you can (probably) achieve that too.
You're not saying you're losing to teenagers, are you?
What I'm saying is :

Our efforts go to WE and JASS.
Their efforts go to those Web Programming, Glitter making, etc.

I was being sarcastic.

No way! Give me back my teaspoon of sweat and 5 minutes of thinking of some reply!

Okay, this post is quite useless

Blogging and creating Dyslexia-inducing animations does NOT mean the same as building a website from the ground up.
Contributing content does NOT take much effort. Doing it outside in the real world to upload to some website does, I agree, but that just means females are finding another outpoint for their social lives. Repeat: they are contributing content to sites, and using the internet to inform others of their social activities.

Either that, or the NY Times was misinformed, in which case the reason obviously is an increase in webcam girls

And just to piss off all those who say the equivelant of "Hotlink and die", I'm going to go find a free web host and hotlink as much stuff as possible

Completely off-topic: I hate the NY Times website. I'm a compulsive double clicker and everytime I click a word it opens a new webpage! Gah!

My Two Cents.

Alright guys, so ANOTHER news article doesn't know what the hell they're talking about, and it's biased. Can't we make one like they did? Lol.

Post it all in binary.

I agree. No matter how much effort you put into a map, no matter how many systems, algorithms and data structures you've programmed into a map, you're achievements will never compare to those of a teenager who can copypaste a C hello world program and make a sparkling tile animation in ImageReady. No.

Lets face it. You can't devalue someones efforts based on the medium they're using. It just doesn't work.

I'm talking about real web design, not "glitter" things.

This:

Does not compare to this:

Now it's great that they're doing something productive rather than talking to their friends all day, but I'd much rather see something more....useful?... come out of it. But, lets not get into it here. As for the Gender issue here, I don't see where they're saying "Girls have way more time than guys do to learn this". I've meet many great programmers, both female and male, and the time and patience they have for it is based on the person, not the gender. /shrug

Conclusion :
Cross out that 'many more' from the sentence and let's just say we're equal (girls and boys)

Note:
That GIF Image above looks like a two-framer
A Web compared to that GIF is just rofl.

How to see who is more skilled, WCIII vs MySpace:
Take a talented WCIII mapmaker, like, say, Darnyak and take a "talented" ImageReady user like they girl in the article.

Test 1: Tell the mapmaker to make a few 2 frame large .gifs involving some hearts and sparkles and then tell the competition to remake Eve of the Apocalypse: Twilight from scratch. See who's better at the oppositions work.

Test 2: Have them both code something in C++, see who's done first and with least bugs.

> competition

You mean opposition?

Hey, it's not fair.
2 Frame GIFs are not to be compared to a map
