"... the expectation that women don't get into tech is what keeps them out of it..." Yeah well, how did this stereotype got built in the first place? and why isn't it the case with marketing? why this same expectation is not happening in sales? why tech?? The answer is clear: Women did it to themselfs. Men are not to blame. Women are not hackers by nature. It's usually a man who gets dirty. In my classroom, despite having the same teacher and the same lessons, it's always the boys who are trying to explain how things work to the "lot" of ladies who didn't get it. I personally can't imagine a lady creating C, Python, or running facebook on her dormroom. Ladies usually have guys over there, not data servers. I just can't imagine a bunch of ladies locked in a garage working on something. Whenever I think of a group of women, The only thing that comes to my mind is that they are talking about how cool is desperate housewives, or how great was Sara's date. This is not my fault, they are responsible for what we the men think of them. And don't tell me there's a white male controlling their brains to do such things. They just do them. face it. SO WOMEN, STOP BLAMING THE MEN and BE PROUD OF WHAT YOU LOVE. be it cooking or dating magazines or what ever. why do you want to hate what you love and force yourself in men things? are you ashamed of what you do? Why do you consider what you do as the work of a second class citizen? Women tend to love different things and I don't understand why people are trying to force them into tech. PEOPLE, women DID NOT ask for your help. Too sad for the ladies who have this computer addictivness syndrome, your group did not follow you, you are just an exception.
