¿Todos los problemas son masculinos?

When I was learning Spanish, I used to always screw up the gender of
the Greek words until I learned that all Greek words were masculine.
My female prof liked to remind me/us by saying, "All problems are
masculine."  I always thought it was a clever mnemonic device and jab.

Felipe's point being that the dearth of female coders in the Plan 9
community is the core of the problem. ;)
