Annoying! Sexual objectification when I am just trying to work!
Ugh! I'm hard at work, and as often happens when programming, I just wanted to look up an example online. So I clicked into some user discussions about a library I am using, and BAM! Shoved in my face is a cartoon of a cute girl whose breasts are animated to pulse before your very eyes. AGAIN that reminds me, "Programming is usually done by boys, you don't belong here!". I don't actually believe I don't belong as a programmer. I am a programmer and I DO belong here, and I've been doing it professionally for 15 years. But people out there continue to insist on acting otherwise. I am beyond sick and tired of this. Stupid, stupid annoying companies who think sexual objectification is something that is O.K. to do! URAGHGH!!
