Original thread
I am an introvert male and one book that really helped me be assertive, certain, spontaneous, and happy in the social arena is "No more Mr Nice Guy" by Robert Glover. Highly recommended!

I have the audiobook version and it's one of few audiobooks that I've listened to more than once.
I also have a mindmap of the book if anyone wants it.

How many comments in this thread asked the OP "what projects have you worked on", "what have you contributed as a woman?".
Why? Because the larger issue isn't woman. It's "Nice guy" syndrome. Deferring to woman, being "pc", repressing opinions. The book No More Mr. Nice Guy (http://www.amazon.com/No-More-Mr-Nice-Guy/dp/0762415339) is a great read on this.
As for the OP. I don't care about your gender or race. I want to know what you code. I want you to be great. But will not enable my fellow men nor you to be weak prima donnas.
We have a destiny. We owe it to our children not to show such weakness.
