I'm middle-aged and female - someone has to keep these youngsters in order! :)
But there is a women's group on the forum, which I don't read much - I can't help feeling that gender-specific groups are a bit discriminatory. Unless the object is to show that women *are* using Ubuntu and encouraging others. I found lots of examples of older women using Ubuntu when I was looking out stuff for the demo day - mainly grannies who'd had it installed by family members. They were new to computers, so learning Ubuntu had no more fears than learning Windows would have had. I think the Ubuntu ethos is more geared to lack of discrimination on whatever grounds.
