In the world of hackers nobody knows your female, or really cares for that matter. You gain cred from your skill not your gender. My Mum, (who I quote a lot I know), used to say to me that there is no such thing as can't, there is only wont. She never allowed us to use our gender as an excuse not to do something. I grew up with the attitude that there was nothing I couldn't at least attempt. lol we grew up as chronic over-acheivers, but also well rounded adults :) I would definitly put you in that catagory too, 'wild women do, and the others just watch'.
