current situation in the web design industry? If you are trying to make it better then the article should be there to prove that there is no sexism, rather than highlight that there is and then create some yourself by only interviewing females, and then focusing on things only females should know. How are you going to help the problem by only focusing on what you claim is the minority? Surely by doing this you are putting yourselves in the minority of your own accord? This isn't a personal attack on the writer nor the designers "showcased" but on the situation in general. Showcase away, get these people out there but for the right reasons. Do it because they are good at what they do, they have some good experiences to share. It wouldn't have mattered if they were all female if you didn't push the point you were interviewing females because there is sexism in the industry. If hope this has cleared up for some people what the argument was about and why people are so passionate about it. Maybe a new article show casing some well known and not so well known men would be a good next step. Just make sure you don't ask them if they have "Ever Experienced Any Negativity or Sexism Being in This Industry?". For God's sake, its just an interview! The designers can answered what they liked and the interviewer can ask what she want. I don't see any harm in knowing
