catamorphism

Hello Geekfeminism,

I would like to write a guest-post about some plausible dynamics of the near future of men and women in the work place vis a vis technology. On the one hand a lot of the tech world still seems to be dominated by fairly young white males (of which I am one myself), on the other hand women are outnumbering men now in college enrollment and completion and middle management rolls. So are we headed for a time where in many (or even most) workplaces a woman is probably the boss, but a man is probably the IT person who reports to her? Is there an argument (and I ponder this with tremendous reservation) that this would actually be a pretty logical arrangement? Can men learn to accept that this may increasingly be the arrangement in their professional lives?

I am an aspiring Sci Fi author and blogger, examples of my writing can be found at my website: jordanthomassmith.com

December 10 through January 4: Defining the data structure, implementing essential functionalities such as comparability/ordering, cloning/copying, a useful to_str() method.  The extended length of this time period is intended to allow me to become more familiar with the data structure and constraints of the language as well as account for downtime surrounding the holidays.  If possible, I will try to make enough progress to advance to the next stage early--this schedule is a conservative estimate.
January 5 through January 18: Defining insertions and refactoring (splitting) of the B-tree.
January 19 through February 1: Defining deletions and refactoring (merging) of the B-tree.
February 2 through February 8: Benchmarking and establishing the efficiency of the new B-tree.
February 9 through February 22: More benchmarking, and now comparing the capabilities of the B-tree against the older treemap library, taking notes on what works better or worse in each case.
February 23 through March 1: Implementing changes

 Our units of temporal measurement, from seconds on up to months,
     are so complicated, asymmetrical and disjunctive so as to make
     coherent mental reckoning in time all but impossible.  Indeed, had
     some tyrannical god contrived to enslave our minds to time, to
     make it all but impossible for us to escape subjection to sodden
     routines and unpleasant surprises, he could hardly have done
     better than handing down our present system.  It is like a set of
     trapezoidal building blocks, with no vertical or horizontal
     surfaces, like a language in which the simplest thought demands
     ornate constructions, useless particles and lengthy
