Gender in Technology

As I have been growing up I have always kind of done what I wanted to do in most aspects. I never really had any issues with people telling me what I could or couldn't do based on my gender then again I never really had that many people in my life who would tell me not to do something based entirely off my gender. My parent, grandparents, and family always told me to do whatever I wanted to do as long as it made me happy. And in all honesty I did not really have that many friends when I was younger. As I was growing up I became the geek and was quickly ostracized from the group of friends I had early on in school so I really never had any friends who were there to tell me not to do something for a specific reason such as its something a girl would usually do. It is really a situation of who you’re with at what times in all honesty, sometimes a friend may be a serious homophobia person who may not want to do a single thing that may make him seem gay to those around him. Other people will merely say okay do what you want to do and let you be happy with whatever it is that you want to do. Most of the time it’s the friends who will say “don’t do that, guys aren’t supposed to do that and the parents who will be happy with whatever you do as long as it is not against the rules.
