What do you think about this?
posted in General |One of the lessons I’ve taken away from something I read, regarding my relationship with Ms B, is “when guys talk about problems, they’re looking for solutions, whereas when women talk about problems, they’re looking for community.”
Talk about your vast generalizations.
However, I can tell you that this generalization is frequently true in my discussions with Ms B, though; when she complains that she doesn’t like the food I’ve made for dinner, she’s not really asking me to go to Dairy Queen and get her chicken strips (well, not always), but she’s asking for reassurance that she’s not crazy; worchestershire sauce makes tuna casserole taste funny.
So then I read this…Programmers Don’t Like To Code (short summary: programmers like to solve problems, not to code). Combining these two generalizations … is this why the stereotypical computer programmer is male?
Yes, yes I know they’re all total generalizations. But are they linked?
