I don't think this issue really has anything to do with being male or
female. It is more about entering a culture that you may not like. I have
seen many male employees also that don't like to work in the "geeky"
departments because they're not interested in the same things...or at least
work is not their entire life. Naturally, those that do like "the tape
drives" will all hang out together and share info and become better at
their jobs so if you don't fit in, you won't be able to keep up with
everything. That doesn't have much to do with the sex of those
people. Hell, most of them don't even have sex! :)
