What exactly is "not normal" about female engineers?
Occasionally using "she" to refer to an unknown person is a welcome relief from the abundant writing which solely uses the male pronoun. When documentation uses "he" it doesn't mean engineering teams are 100% male and using "she" doesn't mean the inverse.
- vonklaus 11y agoIt isn't normal unfortunately. It's why there is a push for women in tech. There isn't a top company that is 50/50(i don't believe this has to be the case accross the board) but using it just feels disingenuous. Idk, i'm not a femal engineer. Maybe passport was predominently written by female engineers. If I was a minority in some arena,I suspect I would be slightly off put if they just pretended I wasn't
- morgante 11y agoWhy on Earth would it have to be 50/50 for something to be "normal?" Only about 43% of college students are male. Does that mean it's not normal to have a male college student? Please take your casual sexism elsewhere.
