The Male Programmer Privilege Checklist

Link here.

Of the ones on the list, I've been affected by the following at some point over the last 35 years: 3, 4, 5, 6 (more than once), 7 (but not in a job context), 9 (more than once), 10 (offered a data entry position when I applied for a programmer position), 13, 20, 22, 23, 24, 25, 31, 34, 35, 36, 37, 39.

In some other cases, I've simply not cared what others have thought, and I've always been butch, so some of them don't apply, or didn't apply so far as I noticed.

Skateistan

Skateistan is a project to bring skateboarding to Afghanistan, and there is a forthcoming movie about the project.

"We build ramps, not bombs."

Can't wait to see it. Love the idea of teaching kids in Afghanistan that both boys and girls get to ride skateboards. They are also teaching the handicapped to skate.
