Hi!
Social conditioning perhaps? I have noticed in certain circumstances men
like to "talk over" me as I call it. I dont stand for it but I have seen
other females who get quiet or don't paricipate as much due. Perhaps the
inherent aggression in Male communication style?
Have you experienced that on the DW irc channel specifically, or are you talking
more generally or about other contexts?
I do not think that the people on the channel are inherently agressive, and I
wouldn't say that the most agressive people in there are men, actually. This
has to do, among other things, with the environment we have tried to set up in
that channel. Your viewpoint may vary, of course.
I would welcome everyone to be involved in the IRC channel and to speak up when
they want to, especially about topics that have to do with the DW project or
with Debian. It's a good idea to read the guidelines at
http://women.alioth.debian.org/faqs/#irc first.
