But if that were true I'd expect women would be underrepresented in tech compared to AP Comp Sci. As it is they are slightly over-represented.
If you have clearer evidence on that point I'd like to see it. I've heard convincing anecdotes of women dropping out because of sexism but I find it hard to reconcile with the data.
- abritinthebay 9y agoYou're comparing different things - one is current levels of CompSci (small, limited, sample size - hell I wouldn't show up in CompSci numbers) which is also basically at an all time high. The other is a total size metric that won't show churn. I get what you're trying to show but the comparison doesn't follow.
