Yes, Tech requires intelligence. Google in particular in famous for checking analytical intelligence in their interview. I know that's not 100% correct but I call this "pure number crunching intelligence". People there know how to solve this and that, can approximate problems and solutions.
This gender thing might be formulated as an analytical problem but it suffers high complexity. It's better to be understood empirically. But how can these people understand it empirically if there are no women around? Are they reading enough about this complex topic to still make informed decisions? Probably not.
I have an illustrative example: in Germany in those regions that have the least foreigners, there are the most Neo Nazis and people are more likely to vote for right wing parties.
Disclaimer: I didn't read more than a few sentences of such a stupid essay because I have better to do with my time. But in any case, you cannot solve this problem by writing "a better essay". IMHO this problem has to do with complexity and it cannot be solved with facts.

As a counter-example: In the US, people living in the South are generally the most racist, despite Southern states having the most ethnic diversity. https://qph.ec.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-5b7d145c14255746125e39d0f30b64d6-c https://qph.ec.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-5b7d145c14255746125e39...

- xienze 9y agoTons. When cities are 30+% black, as most are in the South, lots of daily interaction with blacks is par for the course.
- mcguire 9y agoIs racism really worse in the American south? Probably. Maybe. Certainly, it's more of an obvious, concrete social fixture.
