That change in culture has to start at high school and college levels, if not sooner, in educational terms for any meaningful changes to happen. Plus the culture that needs to work to change isn't necessarily just the tech culture.
- jazzyk 11y agoExactly. Pop-culture in the US (and high-school/college kids are drowning in it) is very anti-intellectual in general. And getting worse every year (reality shows, etc). But a lot of discrimination comes from female peer-pressure, not males. My daughter kept repeating "math is hard" because her female friends kept saying so, until I had none of it. She ended up being very good in math, but chose chem+biology as her major in college :-)
