This is a really good point. We really do want to encourage women in this field, and it's a shame that dudes are downvoting this (and I'm male).

- witty_username 10y agoHow do you know dudes (male people right?) are downvoting this?
- grotsnot 10y agoI'm a dude, he's a dude, she's a dude, we're all dudes
- tzakrajs 10y agoDude is unisex these days, and i think the original claim is also ignoring non-binary people who conform neither to male or female gender stereotypes (wrt wanting more women in tech). we should also want to increase visibility of non binary people
- triplesec 10y agoIt's far less likely a woman or nonbinary would downvote this for I should think obvious reasons
- ManlyBread 10y agoIf such a small thing is enough to discourage women from entering the field, then by all means it should be done at this stage rather than after several years of college or in a workplace.
