get the power

2005-10-20 15:45:39.186261+00 by Dan Lyke 3 comments

Anyone who's been in computing a while knows that the participation of the fairer sex is often a topic of conversation. But today, when Dave Winer asked "How To Get More Women", the only thing I could think of was:

"In this country, you gotta make the money first. Then when you get the money, you get the power. Then when you get the power, then you get the women."
— the character "Tony Montana" in Scarface

I can think of no other personality who needs the influence of a woman than Dave Winer. Unfortunately for him, most women have more sense than to hang around such a vain, self-centered, self-aggrandizing pompous ass.

Here is an idea: get out of the freaking office for a change. Do something that doesn't center around yourself. Don't expect everyone to drop everything in their life just to join your entourage of sycophants.

It would be a good thing for women to proportional representation in the tech industry, but they don't need handouts from you, particularly to serve as some kind of pick-and-choose resevoir of people who have not yet chosen to reject you.

To me, the interesting thing is that so many people agree that Dave Winer sometimes acts like a pompous, arrogrant ass and ticks them off, and simultaneously they seem to find his blogging good enough in some respects that they read it anyway. :-)
