While the attitude displayed in that discussion is very frustrating and disappointing, it's not really equivalent to women getting passed over for high-paying engineering or management roles.
Is there a cutoff salary where, in your strange opinion, these rules should apply? If so, please, name that salary, and explain where that number came from.
If a woman is denied a $80k job oppportunity and forced to take a $30k job instead, she has suffered a direct $50k/year financial loss.
If a man is pushed out of one $50k job into another $50k job, he has suffered no direct financial loss.
They both absolutely do suffer a loss in esteem and quality of life, and neither one is okay. But equating a handful of "women only" entry level jobs to an industry-wide glass ceiling that puts an effective cap on certain people's salaries is missing the forest for the trees.
It's also easy to argue that discrimination in lower paid fields could actually be more harmful. Taking a $50k job rather than a $80k job is less painful than being unemployed vs taking a $30k job.
It also has nothing to do with this conversation.
This isn't "are men bad" this is "to what extent do women perceive they are effected by the gender imbalance in tech and the resulting power imbalance and what do they think about it".
