This is really overly sensitive. The word "bitch" is offensive to women? I talk to women all the time that use the word. They don't seem offended by it.<p>Anyway, I don't think anyone on the Internet cares what gender you are. Women just don't seem to be that interested in programming.
Women already get enough special treatment. If you register for a computer forum with a female avatar, the amount of attention you get and rapidity with which your questions get answered is inordinate.
