The article on YUPies never hinted at women on the net or women in the
computer biz, the girls (notice intentional use) who *make* the BMOC
are not, in general, those that pursue technical careers but rather
are in college to pursue men.  I would think most men on the net would
get a liitle pleasure out of this supposed turn of events (even if you
think the idea of BMOC is bad).  It even seems possible that our better
half (I just love colloquialisms) could snicker with delight at the
male hacker's rise of status in a world he rarely competes in.

But maybe I'm wrong.
