https://quillette.com/2018/06/19/why-women-dont-code/ The guy is a principal lecturer who has worked to close the gender gap Hopefully people will read this article without knee jerk reactions and losing their shit But I know it’s too much to ask Edit: and I hope idiots don’t conflate this to women can’t code.
It should be called Why Women Don't Want to Code. Much more accurate title.
Lol quillette
This is stupid. In the third world plenty of women want to code. Math majors and Cs majors are full of women too.
Lots of American women are spoiled. They complain math is too hard and choose to study easier liberal arts majors instead.
Economic incentives differ in importance in third world countries - and there is less opportunity for certain fields. Some of the data that he presented would seem to indicate that this outcome is likely. All else being equal, men and women seem to have differing trends in interests - the question becomes how different and is that the most beneficial balance for society.
I'm genuinely impressed it's been 50 minutes and OP's not gotten banned yet
So true. I posted an informative video from the HEAD OF American college of Pediatrics about how transgenderism agenda in schools is damaging children, and got banned for it! What’s hateful in an honest discussion? https://youtu.be/s57T27M1ZXk (watch very carefully and please share with liberal friends- she scientifically debunks the talking points of the arrogant SJWs)
Who is this article targeted to? At the end he talks about worrying there are negative stories about men in tech, men feeling guilty for other men’s sins, and men feeling awkward around women. That says everything you need to know about the article. Who are these men? No one I know. This article is for men who aren’t very stable in their identify and who are blind to the sexism problem in tech. If you really don’t see the discrimination, and you really think we’ll never improve our gender balance then the very least you can do is get back to work, stop obsessing about something that “doesn’t exist”, and let the Diversity folks figure this out for themselves. Just the fact that he wants women to be quiet about equality and equity tells everyone what kind of person he is. Bummer to see this meandering and petty piece coming from a UW lecturer.
“let the Diversity folks figure this out for themselves.” That is the problem. Diversity officers is a useless position. Do you think they will ever say all is well and there is no need for my job
And easy on the hyperbole I am not sure where he says women should be quiet
The good lecturer’s bias was apparent. His baseless assertion that LGBTQ people don’t face discrimination in the field didn’t help his credibility. He interchanged sex and gender when his points wouldn’t survive an independent analysis. And, he avoided any analysis of sexism in the field and its impact on the number of women in the field.
Lol sexism eh Is there no sexism is medical field, restaurant industry or the movie industry? Yet women tend to flock to it. And please sight some evidence of sexism
A simple Google search for sexism in Computer Science will get you up to speed.
Thx OP. Equality of outcome is modern day tool for discrimination.
OP you will be banned soon
For pasting an article by a UW prof Damn you thought police
That’s true. Thought police don’t like diversity thinking.
