        \_ I still want to know how so many women ended up in technical
           management roles.  I've yet to meet a single woman in such a
           position with enough technical *or* management experience to
           fill a piss bucket.
           \_ Donna Shirley
           \_ Yes, any and all men are fully qualified for these positions
              no matter what. Women need not apply because sysadmins on
              the motd are latent homosexuals and only want to hang around
              with other men in the server room....serving each other.
           \_ At Cisco three of my managers were women. All of them were
              knowledgeable about the development of routing software
              and network design and deployment. Two of them had 15+
              years of coding experience (real coding in assembler and
              c) before becoming managers. They were also the best
              organized and friendliest managers I've worked for. They
              always made sure that things like monthly one-on-ones
              occured, that reviews were taken care of in a timely
              fashion, that people weren't overworked, necessary equip.
              \_ I'm glad your experience was different from mine.  However,
                 you don't have enough evidence to claim "most women" are
                 highly competent or anything else.  You got lucky, IMO.
              \_ I interned at Cisco and noticed lots of female managers. This
                 is consistent w/ other places I've worked as well. From exper,
                 I see that women can be just as technical as men, but that
                 more often than not they also possess other skills that male
                 engineers lack. These skills include organizational and ppl
                 skills. --likes working with women and men
        \_ Is she HAWT?
              was available &c.
              No doubt some women (and many men) who are incompetent
              become mgrs but most women who become mgrs. are given
              that position because they are highly competent.
