I've started flagging these stories. It doesn't matter how many men or women work in particular careers. Technology is only singled out because the pay is high

  On sites other than HN, which has nothing to do with welding? I'm sure it's very easy to say that gender inequality in the workplace doesn't matter at all when you are not the one affected by it. see: http://www.aikenstandard.com/article/20130125/aik0101/130129691 http://www.aikenstandard.com/article/20130125/aik0101/130129... http://www.millerwelds.com/resources/articles/rosie-the-welder http://www.millerwelds.com/resources/articles/rosie-the-weld... http://awo.aws.org/2013/12/women-in-welding-meet-karen-gilgenbach/ http://awo.aws.org/2013/12/women-in-welding-meet-karen-gilge... http://www.advanced.edu/blog/more-women-entering-the-welding-profession/ http://www.advanced.edu/blog/more-women-entering-the-welding...

  "Where are the articles about Women in Y" or "where are the articles about men in X" is a common comment in these threads. Those articles are written, and linked to in those threads. They're not posted to HN because they're not of interest to HN which has few welders or nurses but many coders.

  Oddly enough, I know some people in the welding industry, and it's discussed.

  Women may not be welding, but they are riveting.
