Yes, women can solder!
I went though a science stream in the academic carrier and female scientists were always seen as some peculiar existences at least in my time in Japan.
The reality is that women can pursue science as much men can.

For some amazing reading; I strongly recommend some research into the Lost women of Science- especially Astronomy.

I'm glad someone started this discussion. I have used Zorin since Z-5, and have paid for Ultimate since Z-6 (which came on a DVD). Like tomscharback I have no desire to crawl under a car (last time I replaced burnt valves was about 1950). Prior to Zorin I tried Mandriva 2006, Linux XP 2006 etc. Haven't used WIN since XP, except for a month or so of WIN 10 on my desktop. Before Zorin Lite moved from LXDE to XFCE I used Linux Lite on my 11" notebook, but now use Z-Lite. I have Z-16 on desktop now.
I think I represent a different PC user, whose PC is just tool. I needed a system that just worked, and if it didn't I had help from Zorin Team. The Forum seems to be largely the preserve of computer experts and gamers. I never use Terminal (command line or whatever) unless there is no alternative. My time is precious to me, and I have many other interests, including U3A, a campervan and remaining financially solvent. By the way, I have dismantled this machine myself to add RAM.
I admire Aravision for his perseverance. I also changed my occupation when I was young, and have lived and worked in several countries, when computers and mobile (cell) phones were really science fiction.

I am anything but an expert and I do not have a single game installed on my Zorin.

The credit should go to @Kedric.
He is possibly the youngest member of this forum 
He is very good at questioning and triggering some good discussions for multiple facets of Linux OS.

I think @Kedric gives a very good working example here:
In the above posting, @Kedric explains what each command does.
It is a very good way to introduce beginners to terminal

I do it because I feel like giving instructions without telling what it does is pointless.
Imagine your maths teacher telling you the steps how to do the questions, but never tell you why. You will never know how to do it.
