If you believe the sexes are equally represented in this field, you should probably try to learn more about a topic like this before forming such strong feelings on it, because the numbers show that not to be remotely true. I honestly have trouble believing you really think this, but I'll assume you're sincere but misinformed, which is kind of a relief. The claim that there are as many women in tech as men is as poorly borne out by the numbers as the idea that Topeka is five miles from Tokyo.

Please, do some cursory research and you will see that women really are badly outnumbered in tech.




They have equal opportunity. (Actually, no, women have greater opportunity than men do these days.)

That's not a guarantee of equal outcome, though.


"badly outnumbered". Should this be a contest? Where are hard facts on discrimination of women in our field?
