How many of us are female?

[quote=CBad][quote=jficquette]Women who are married with children and also work outside the home are too busy to piddle time away on the internet (g). Seriously.

Well gee how many men here fit that category? C’mon, what a double standard.

There are also degrees of working like part time, job sharing, and full time telecommuting. I’m a programmer and work entirely from home (which if I couldn’t I’d be a stay-at-home mom) and I’m allowed to check out piggington while I’m waiting for files to transfer or need a break from trying to figure a bug out! 😉

I am just saying that the numbers don’t reflect less interest in news etc then men as some might infer. One factor is that women with kids have a fun time job just helping them with homework etc. Throw a full time career on top of that and women don’t have as much time as men do to spend on the Internet goofing off.

My guess it that of the 20% who are women who post on these sites on a regular basis only 20% have young kids.

You can add another female count to the bunch . . . . . I am a divorced mom of three, in my early 40’s, and work at a local air force base in financial analysis and project management. I have Bachelors in Economics, Masters in Business, and have been working part time in real estate appraisal for 15 years. I reside in Northern Los Angeles County as a renter who is watching and waiting. Though I am not local to your area I visit this site often for info. I have yet to find a site such as Piggs that provides useful info, shares my mind set/outlook for the industry and addresses my local area, so I am crashing yours. I find the discussions and postings seem to apply universally with the exception of specific local or commute comments. I have only commented a couple of times and tend to keep a low profile since I am not a local ((I also prefer to avoid the needless badmouthing of my city.)) The last time I commented was several months back, in support of an airman relocating his family to the Antelope Valley, because of his new assignment to Edwards Air Force Base, Ca.

Laura and you other “chicks,” I’m not the boss here (Rich is). In fact, I am not even a known poster. But I’m so glad so many women have come forward out of lurking. Thanks. I think we have added value. That jf-whatever-his-name-is would have us staying home with our young kids and just SHUTTING UP. I am educated enough that I stayed home with my kid till she was 11, but I was still working full time as a contractor.The difference between then and now is that I and other women and other mommies in the same situation used to meet in local parks and talk investing or whatever in local parks while our kids played. Now, 20 years later, we can do it on sites like this. And we don’t have to keep a watchful eye on the monkey bars.

Thanks Rich, Temecula Guy and others for your support. We will now probably fade back. But thanks for the opportunity!

Come on now(g). I never said that. I was taking up for women by suggesting a reason for not posting to these sites as much as men.
