Girls

I was going to write about how I watched the Sex and the City episode that Miranda is assumed to be a lesbian and gets an "in" with her boss at her firm because of it. Of course, the actual episode is about how single women are the enemies of attached women or that they need to be "figured out". Of course, sometimes that's the case, it just makes people uncomfortable to see something so different from what they see as normal.

But I'm not actually going to write about that (yet) I definitely want to eventually though because it is an interesting idea, that single women are enemies of attached women, or that they are inherently different.

Instead I'm going to write about this article I found in Good Magazine about the program Girls Who Code which helped lower income girls in the New York area learn some coding before college to get them prepared for the tech world. I love this idea because I think I would have loved to do computer science, I just didn't really know it was out there and hadn't learned any code before college, so I didn't want to be the stupid one in classes. So I just want to say go Girls Who Code! You're doing awesome things, not only for lower income people, but for women. The more women in computer science, the more women who will be able to make the computer technology and society less scary for more women to use!
