TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
Much as I hate "Me-tooism", I agree with Sue.
It's a minor (larger then that to those faked, granted) annoyance
from somebody who just want to stir up the muck and get attention.
FWIW, I thought the "Feminization" question was a valid one.
We've seen other trades/professions become pink-collar ghettos...
why not us? In many ways it seems to me easier for a woman
to get hired as a writer than as a programmer, which says
nothing about the women's abilities, but a whole lot about the mindset
of the folks doing the hiring!
