“Totally admirable intention”
What? That’s not admirable at all. That’s blatant sexism.
“(STEM is 100% historically discriminatory to women)”
Lol no, if anything it’s clearly discriminatory towards men in the false assumption that low female population isn’t an internal cause
- ShredKazoo 4y agoI posted these links elsewhere in the thread, but I'll post them again. Pretty much every job has a gender imbalance to some degree or another. https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/web/products-eurostat-news/-/EDN-20180307-1 https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/web/products-eurostat-news/-/E... https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/data/software-developers-overtake-retail-workers-as-most-common-job-in-seattle-area/ https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/data/software-deve...
- peaky_blinder 4y agoGender imbalance on it's own doesn't say everything. You should actually talk with women in STEM. Many of them shared their horrible experiences so far.

- ShredKazoo 4y agoI agree we should work to reduce horrible experiences. My point is that we shouldn't be surprised by a gender imbalance on priors. By itself, a gender imbalance only goes to show that software engineering is like a lot of other jobs. BTW, my suspicion is that similar experiences happen in many industries, and industries vary according to (a) how horrible a given experience is said to be and (b) social norms around registering a complaint.
