Also some operators are clearly sexist >>=, -> => etc etc. I don´t kmow if the lack of female haskellers is due to this inpudic exhibition of male domination ;) 2010/3/28 Ertugrul Soeylemez Fraser Wilson wrote:

I'm sure there's some theory about fags being unable to use tools and stuff. It certainly cannot be anything to do with cultural pressure. Perhaps it is easy to mistake a male-dominated field for one that males are intrinsically good at, but really, have a look at the Y chromosome, it does nobody any favours. Gender is hormonal.

I'd rather look at the Y combinator, which kind of resembles a penis:

Y = \ f -> (\x -> f (x x)) (\x -> f (x x))
