Does each X represent a member?

What if you're female, but not a lady?

It always kind of bums me that these things seem much more geared toward the designer types, and leave the operations people - the mechanics, as it were - out. There ARE female systems engineers out there, too, not just developers and designers and program managers.

@Geni: as a designer, my impression was the opposite. I am interested in checking out the group for sure. However, what interests me most is the prospect of meeting other folks in the industry that don't do the exact same thing I do.

@3&4 Yes yes yes. It drives me crazy when people use the label "tech industry" or "high tech" to solely refer to computer related professions. Female engineers, mechanics, welders, operators, etc continue to be invisible. Well we may not be chic and kewl but we keep shit running.
