Article seems like a stretch. People call into my office where 3 people work, 2 designers and me -- I do software development and webwork. People ask me if I can do print work and layouts, nope.

Another time a lady giving a talk I was Liaising, and she booked the conference room, assumed I could setup all her perhiperals for her to the lecturn just because I'm a geek I guess. I said Nope every campus rooms technology is different -- you figure it out or call local support staff here; ohhhhh.

(Bad) Assumptions are made by all genders, but we need not blow them up into seemingly massive issues.
