Trying to do one post a month
After re-reading some of my posts, I feel like my blog is the definition of trite.
Blah, blah, blah women are capable. Blah blah blah men need to do their fair share around the house if women are going to work full time.
I'm going to try to get away from that and stick to short rants.
I'm taking an online SQL class. So I went to a meeting last night for Tulsa SQL users. It's liberal to call myself a user. And I'm certainly not a DBA. But I showed up to learn and become familiar with terminology even if most of it was way over my head.
There were a few dozen people there. And I was the only woman. Why? Lack of information about the group? Lack of interest? Other priorities?

Your blog is the definition of trite? Huh? I read it because it's NOT the same old stuff. (But, hey, maybe I need to get out more, LOL)
Anyway, the situation you describe sounds like many small reasons adding up to one big one, like is common in so many areas where women are under-represented. The reasons you mentioned, perhaps, plus no babysitter, or just not really seeing herself as part of "that club". Maybe the other women didn't want to end up being the only woman there (ironically).
That's why I get worked up over "small things" that impact women's lives, because they end up making a big difference!
