We have to increase the supply of women. Trying to hire the same number of men and women is sexist when 4/5 CS graduates and 12% of nursing graduates are men.

We have to increase the supply of women. Trying to hire the same number of men and women is sexist when 4/5 CS graduates and 12% of nursing graduates are men. At 7%, men are underrepresented in nursing against their graduation rates. Imagine if we gave men special treatment in this obviously sexist field! Is it any surprise that affirmative action of any kind offends high achievers of both genders? Accomplishments are called into question. It brings gender into roles creating 'women developers' hired for their gender rather than capability, leading to lower compensation used to further highlight the sexism in the field. Preferential treatment based on gender should not exist. This is a simple, equitable principle. Men and women should be equally affected by the time they take to rear children. Hire based on merit, not gender. With EQ and mounting evidence on female managers, this means that we may see men losing out to women. Let's eliminate the mysoginists and misandrists. It'll create a lot of job openings for the rest of us :) http://www.computerworld.com/article/2474991/it-careers/women-computer-science-grads--the-bump-before-the-decline.html http://www.computerworld.com/article/2474991/it-careers/wome...
