Or it could be that "tech finds less value in women".
Historically, your argument has been used to suppress women and minorities. It's weird that every time a group doesn't fit into an industry or a culture, that group is not white men.
- xienze 10y ago> It's weird that every time a group doesn't fit into an industry or a culture, that group is not white men. Teaching, nursing, child care. Care to take a guess which group doesn't fit into those industries?

- mpweiher 10y agoNote that women now exceed men as college graduates. Meaning for every profession where men dominate, you must have other professions where women dominate more. Otherwise the numbers don't add up.
- ruleabidinguser 10y agoAre you suggesting I have an interest in suppressing women and minorities? The only reason I'd want to do that is to decrease competition, and I can guarentee you that I share the same interest regardless of gender or ethnicity My comment was out of an interest in not being lied to more than anything else.
- kristineberth 10y agoI didn't interpret that comment as a suggestion that you have an interest in suppressing women and minorities. But you might have a subconscious interest in maintaining your own worldview, wherein you're part of a group of people that 'gets' or 'finds value in' tech, and others aren't. The subconscious forces that shape the way people think about these issues are the most pernicious.
- ruleabidinguser 10y agoI don't usually find subconscious arguments very convincing. They're kind of like appealing to magic, if that were a real fallacy.
