I've Got Issues

With publications for women in tech and in business.  Examples: 

  • There are no tech/geek mags for women.  But there are a zillion for men.  So if I want to read something nerdy, I have to suffer through pages and pages of ads for things like Axe Body Spray.
  • WIRED magazine online has a cadre of blogs.  They have themes - one for MAC users, one on politics/security, etc...  And, although there is a geek dad - there is again, no blog for geek women.  However their pop culture blog is named "The Underwire" because only people with boobs care about pop culture. Obviously.
  • The only business magazine aimed at women in Borders has a full on pink cover and articles inside about what make-up to wear to work.  If I wanted to know that I would have just read Cosmo.
