I'm not sure how I feel about the tag. I never faced any adversity or issues breaking into the field as a female. I have always been treated with respect by my peers, haven't been shot down or told I couldn't do something due to my gender, or really had any problems at all. I decided I wanted to be a programmer, and I did it.

So I guess I feel a little confused by the whole thing. What I did wrong (right?) to get where I did so "easily" ... that sort of deal.
