Computer programming actually used to be a female-dominated field. I'm not sure why that changed

My mother was the first person in our family to use a computer, an old IBM mainframe in the 60s or 70s. A lot of the earliest work with computers was secretarial in nature, office work. Might be why.

I get the impression women have better cognitive skills in general, because they aren't distracted by always needing to be on the alert for fighting and having sex.

Women have to think about whether it's safe to go outside when it's dark, whether they're going to be raped and murdered, treated like a disposable sex toy in their last moments of life.

I can get blackout drunk, wander around at 3am and pass out in a ditch, and I'll likely be fine.

What do you mean you don't have to think about whether it's safe to go outside when it's dark? Even in safer towns it's scary, anyone could be lurking out there. Only rape is a bigger threat for women, and you act like there are no gay rapists.

But I think I'd rather sacrifice a bit of safety for quality of life. We have this idea right now that safety and survival need to come above all else...including the very things they're meant to protect. I'm even noticing this with technology; software is becoming unusable due to increasing "security" features, which you can't turn off "for your own good".

I generally have no concerns about my security unless I'm in a bad part of town and I don't think about it.

there are no gay rapists.

There's a lot less gay rapists than straight rapists. When I used to go to house parties, there were guys who would just pick up passed out chicks and try to take them home. We had to sequester them in a room. A passed out dude just had to worry about having his eyebrows shaved (hilarious) and the classic drawing of a cock n balls on his face, but nobody was gonna ass fuck him.

That's exactly why I avoid things like wild parties. Well they're not very fun for me either, but I wouldn't feel safe.

If you went to the right kind of parties you might end up waking up chained in a basement.

There's almost no one with my variation of that fetish. I like just being imprisoned, no sex, left alone most of the time. And for several hours at the bare minimum. That really only happens in cartoons. I don't know why I find it so appealing.
