YES!

If you are ever asked:


"What could a female actually know about tech. writing and
computers?" not stated but thought objection???

RUN AWAY!

YOU DO NOT WANT TO WORK THERE!

If anybody thinks that gender has anything to do with ability or
knowledge, there are sadly mistaken.

Find an oppertunity somewhere else, you will be happier in the long run.
