Women make up 51 percent of the population, and because of this, Linux should be banned in government. Operating Systems like Linux discriminate against women because of a built in difficulty compared with Windows and Apple's OS X. Women pay taxes, and therefore shouldn't be discriminated against in getting employment with government agencies. If these agencies had used Windows or OS X, more women would be able to persue dreams of a full time job in government. Linux is by its nature a man's domain. Women are designed to use social interaction and emotions to deal with complex tasks, things the command line are ill suited. OS X, and Windows have friendly and female-intuitive designs that take into account a woman's understanding of objects, ie. folders, desktops, Clippy, the XP search dog. These help women operate the computer by giving her a relationship with these icons, and helpful animated pets. It makes a woman feel at home with her computer by allowing her to relate to it. Linux, on the other hand is designed for command line and programming. Sure, it may have a fugly GUI to hide its true being, but to get any serious work done you must know a bunch of arcane commands with hundreds of options that change with every command. Something like this: chmod a+rwx. Only engineers can understand this. And most engineers are still men. This puts the female population at a great disadvantage when applying for work. Men know this, and that's why they deliberately try to install linux in the workplace. How would women's groups react when they read the studies that are being commissioned by industry on this very subject? Surely, women, when they learn of this, will outvote men and ban linux from the government.
