The Grace Hopper Celebration is meant to unite women in tech. This year droves of men came looking for jobs.

    The day I hear complaints about the lack of men in primary education and the lack of women I coal mining, then I’ll give a shit about the lack of women in tech. I don’t understand why society is deciding tech is sexist but the others are just natural preference.

      Coal mining pretty much died as a career path before women could really get into it.

      Primary education pays terribly for the education level, so the educated men go elsewhere.

      Its not the same comparison tho. Tech is a far more lucrative career than coal mining/primary ed. Inequity in tech affects a lot more than inequity in those other fields.
