Not at all. Women are always complaining how men talk shop when they
get together. Well, this is a smart plan to get women involved in Unix
so that the sexes can have more to talk about. Just imagine:

"Would you believe, I did an egrep on the recipes in comp.cooks and 70%
of them require tomatoes?"

"Say, have you heard about the new product that lets you have a uucp
connection in your car?"

"I was so tired after hacking the SCSI driver for 30 hours straight
that I had to go for a sauna...

Never mind...
