Wincustomize.com does not discriminate or differentiate between male and female in any way at all.
Promotions are simple cause/effect. Sex is not important. [er...it is, but that's a different topic.....GENDER is not important].
In the dim, dark caverns of the Wincustomize site, rubbing shoulders with dormant bugs and their recently eradicated kin, the 'movers and shakers' are devising a way to 'guarantee' no-one is inadvertently overlooked for promotion. There is typically going to have been a few who may be past-due for elevation, having slipped under the radar......but that too is not something particular to either gender, but both.
One of the 'good' bits of administering Wincustomize.com is the chance we have to [usually unnoticed] reward contributors/devotees to WC and skinning through the promotion system. I for one have been doing it for years....and it's still a nice feeling...though conversely I do not enjoy the odd occasion the person may be on the decent rather than rise. The latter engenders a feeling of disappointment, both in the person and perhaps too in his possible mis-management.
As for the question of females being masters and/or competent skinners, etc.....let's not forget Alexandrie.....[the good looking half of Pixtudio, - sorry, Renato, you know that bit's true...
]. Johanne's probably forgotten more about skinning than most have even imagined learning.
Hopefully in WC2K8 there'll be a 'register' of who's who and at what level.....it's something I've always hankered for....
