Heh.. thanks Kobold.

Kobold sent me this comic this morning and while I had seen it before, I had forgotten all about it. It's from the wonderful people at Queen of Wands. I believe she's not making comics anymore (sad panda) but if you've got a minute to read through them... well, honestly, you'll start getting creeped out a little bit. The main character, Kestrel reminds me of a certain redhead that lives in a house with Kobold. Scary scary.

Either way, I thought I'd share the comic because, well, it's hilarious first of all and secondly, you would not BELIEVE how many times I've had to do this. I understand that generally speaking nerds/geeks are male and know their stuff. I want to know, though... how hard is it to believe that females can also be nerds and know their stuff.

Kobold said that if I actually had to talk like this, then he would call in just to hear it. The sad part is, I do actually have to talk like this to some of the men that call in (and sadder, some of the women). They want a GUY on the phone.

Roger has added, too, that in his experience, even if he has less of an idea what's going on, he gets the same thing. Or rather, his supervisor gets the same thing. She's basically a guru but the idiot callers want a man on the phone.

I can think of very few things that urk me more than being truly sexist and this is one of those things. Of course I like doors being opened for me. Of course I like being treated like a girl. I absolutely abhor being treated less than equal and I cannot stand the thought that someone thinks that because I have boobs, I am absolutely unable to help them when it comes to tecchy stuff. Those people can all die in a fiery plane crash.

Conclusion: I can do anything you can do better, I can do anything better than you. :P
