I am a bit nervous cause I am not sure whether there is some sense of ironic tone inside it or not. I subscribed to the debian women list after one day hesitation. Personally, I have some complex here. 6~7 years ago I started my graduate study, at that time, my supervisor, a woman, precisely a lady professor, the first thing she told me was that "lina, don't treat yourself as a girl." As it's easy to guess what it implied. One thing started puzzling me later, I worked very hard which was something I enjoyed, and I did better (at least I felt) than another boy. But it turned out that she liked that boy far more than me. And what made me sad was that she thought he did better than me. I was really sad at that time, so I talked with my mom, she is a woman. Perhaps woman understands woman better and you could also guess what's kinda of advice my mom she gave to me. Here I am very honest to admit that, I have learned lots of things from boys than girls. But I don't see the points to separate boys and girls. And I don't think people liked to be treated as girl or boy in work or study. I really don't like this idea. But still thanks for the recommendation of the list. I feel sorry about the question I asked, but I do wish there is perhaps some tutorial for it. Please also understand that people's mind not programmed the same. We learned things by different ways. I really had difficulty reading manuals even I messed up lots of things by blindly try. I read manual, but just don't get it. Thanks at the end, > > Thanks > > > -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
