It is difficult. Why would that impression be problematic?
- deleted 11y ago[deleted]
- naasking 11y agoExpertise in computer science probably isn't intrinsically more difficult than any other field, like medicine which now has more women than men.
- humanrebar 11y agoSure. But would it make sense to get women interested in medicine by downplaying how difficult it is?
- m4x 11y agoI didn't word that very clearly but I meant difficult in the "I will have to fight to get ahead because women aren't necessarily well respected by the men in CS" sense It is also technically difficult, but if that is a turn off to a prospective student of any gender then they might not be suited for a career in software engineering
