About Me
- Julia Indelicate
- I'm in a band called The Indelicates. I have been taking Photographs since I was 11, writing Poems since i was about 13, writing Poems better since I was about 19. I'd like to describe myself as a Libertarian Anarchist, but that wouldn't do at all - it's probably true that I believe in Liberty above all. I have two degrees, both of which are relatively useless in terms of profit, but probably enriching in some way. Politically I probably agree with Nick Cohen the most. I make things that very few people will ever see. I would like more than anything to move to America and live in a house in Texas, with a porch, a rocking chair, and a barbeque.

Software engineering:
I work as a software engineer, a profession that is very male-dominated, at least in the UK. I have no reason why this is. I cannot think of any reason why the ability or desire to write programs or mess around with computers should appeal so much more to men than women. It isn't a job that necessarily requires any of the spurious male chracteristics. I don't know if the lack of women is the same in other countries.
Wow, I think this is great - the Girl Guides seem to be doing something right here - as science and maths etc seem to be 'struggling' subjects at the moment it would make sense to increase initiatives to raise interest to girls in particular, especially as they now make up the majority of students / undergraduates in the UK and therefore graduate level employees ... as far as Girl Guides go, they look much more exciting these days - I only got as far as a Brownie and proudly sported a Hostess badge with a cup of tea emblazoned on it - I'd bet this was still attainable today!
Surely if Girl Guides are levelling this type of active encouragement to girls and carers today then they can only be a good thing?
