How to see whom I am at war with???

Not true. Some women do. Always hire women for anything involving
user interface and presentation. I know it sounds sexist, but it
works fine as long as your team is small. But if the project grows
and you need more people, pad the team with male, junior people,
because more than one female designer is asking for trouble.

It isn't sexist if it's true, regardless of the BS of "political correctness" and the sensibilities of naive and pampered princesses who are incapable of objectively viewing themselves and the world around them.

While I do hate tweaking existing code (even my own), I certainly do like doing UI work, personally (and I am not female ).

As someone else said, you can often see immediate improvements over how something works. Plus, it helps you develop something that your end user will like (rather than something you like that the end user is willing to put up with).

So this is.. what? The virtual Version of redecorating a room? All "these colors are exciting and these are cool so use the first for the combat screen and the second for the help menu" type of stuff? So I suppose if you cant find a female programmer, then a gay one will do?

Yes! Isn't it obvious? Some of us women that fiddle with computers prefer more intellectually-challenging activities than having pool parties and interior design in the Sims ...

I have seen that among programmers, mechanical designers and artists,
so I think it is one of the sexist laws of a sexist universe. :-p

Really? "My" team included until recently four female programmers, two female designers and one few architect. Oh, and my most immediate boss is also female. We don't do much UI, though, except a few code-generated ISPF-screens for data entry and searching. I havn't noticed any problems with the female (or male) part of our team.
