These people never want to acknowledge the fact that programming used to be near-universally "women's work", right up until dudes decided it was cool and stole it from us. CS admissions used to be more than 40% women!
- renaudg 9y agoPlease tell us the name of the dude who "stole" all of your girlfriends' neatly-prepared CS college applications and forced them into psychology, sociology and art history instead. Sounds like some kind of dark patriarchy superhero I'd like to meet (he still didn't manage to steal the spot of the most talented computer scientist amongst my friends, who is a woman) Actually, there must be a similar female superhero stealing all of the boys' medical school applications as well (and overall college applications, which are majority female) Or... could this all be the result of decades of encouraging young people to follow their heart when thinking careers ? People, Occam's razor please.
