So you think I should make an Arab IT for both genders to promote their work and success all over the world? I don’t mind doing that and I think it would be a lot better honestly. Hmm.. We will see!

That is true I have yet to meet a programmer lady,or one who does the hardcore technical stuff..and in the Arab world they are even more rare to find.

Also..I am no expert in IT stuff, but there aren’t much Arab made softwares/systems that are actually world widely recognized,and Arab programmers are mainly being outsourced for recognized western companies,their knowledge and creativity could be implemented in successful projects.
I say if you wanna put your foot down to help out Arab IT accomplishments,it is needed for all Arab genders.
