ChillyWateron Enough women in Coders at Work?

My kid has been in day-care for four years now and has been cared for by at least 25 different teachers. Not one of them was male. How can we correct this egregious disparity?

ChillyWateron Whoa, this is heavy: brain equates weight with importance

Heavy things cost more to ship, therefore as the relative weight of any given piece of equipment goes up, so does the price. And we all know that pricier things are better, right?

Unless you are talking about equipment for activities that actively value lightness (camping, rock climbing, hang-gliding).
