No. Your parent comment was talking about engineering.
- tptacek 10y agoSo engineering is different both from science and from actuaries (a math-intensive field with much better gender parity than computer technology), and from all the other lucrative professions. The pleading here seems to me to get more and more special with each iteration of the argument.
- discombobulate 10y agoThey're not the same. So, yes, they're different. > The pleading here seems to me to get more and more special with each iteration of the argument. Really? Because you ignored what the parent comment said. I.e. special pleading!
- camelite 10y agoYeah engineering is different from science. There's a reason people came up with a whole different word for it. > a math-intensive field with much better gender parity than computer technology Stop saying this. It's not better, it's different. > The pleading here seems to me to get more and more special with each iteration of the argument. It's not special. Look at the tables, practically all engineering professions are 80ish% male. If you want to damn computer programming as discriminatory just because lots of women take Maths for their GCSEs, are 35% of chemists and 50% of biologists, you have to do the same for ALL engineers.
