I'm reminded, however, of a news item from late August that started quite a discussion here at Ars: Women in Technology: is there a problem? There we were dealing with the question of women in technology, and their relative treatment as compared to others, but the issues are still rather apropos. Fortunately, this didn't always hold out to be true. I certainly felt like this was the case when I used to work in retail: even though the average 25-year old male is utterly clueless about technology, it was the women and the elderly who were just assumed to not have a clue. I think we geeks tend to be particularly guilty of making assumptions about one's technical prowess based on gender, age, and even race. 'Our female customers feel a big lack of r-e-s-p-e-c-t,' admitted Dave Williams, Vice President of Research & Analysis at the electronics chain Best Buy. Many simply felt dumb, even though they considered themselves smart women.

It found that most of all, women were irritated by unhelpful and pushy salespersons. Research commissioned by the CES organisers looked at how women were treated when they went shopping for gadgets. Selling to women is going to be increasingly important in the tech and gadget world (imagine that!), but old stereotypes die hard and executives are realizing that they're costing money. As is the case with many social problems, companies are now starting to sit up and take notice because they have a social conscience they're losing money. In a 'the more things change.' vein, the BBC is reporting on the poor treatment women often receive when shopping for technology products.
