>Other than to attempt to muddy the conversation
Thank you for your charitable interpretation of my statement. I look forward to you having an open mind when entering a discussion of gender equality in the future./s
Unsarcastically, I think it's disingenuous that you would presume to know the intent of my statement and therefore can project whatever intent you wish into it.
>what benefit is there to mentioning it?
The point of mentioning it is that there are some fields that there is a push for gender parity into and others that are not. If we want gender parity in some fields but not others then we need to understand what makes the fields where parity is sought different from fields where parity is not sought. Perhaps we can learn something about these fields that would make achieving gender equality easier.
> Unless everyone at once gets up to right the world, no one should?
Again, this is what happens when you assume intent and project malice into that intent.
- smadge 11y ago> The point of mentioning it is that there are some fields that there is a push for gender parity into and others that are not I think the main point of the article isn't gender parity, but equal treatment in the workplace. The focus of the article wasn't about increasing women participation in tech, but stopping gender discrimination in the workplace.
