> If women think differently than men, wouldn't a significant increase in the number of women in a profession show up as a change in the general model of the profession? It makes sense but I think the problem is that women do not get leadership roles very often, so they cannot change things. The two theories about why this happen is, first, the oppression of the women and the glass ceiling [1]; second, the women avoid confrontation and stress which are typical in leadership roles. I like the idea of changing things to include more diversity. I don't know if it can apply to everything but I think it should be an option to explore. Pair programming is a good idea, another good idea is to have more meetings to discuss the processes and getting feedback from projects. Definitely a more emphatic mind will help a lot for this. I don't think this is economically viable in small companies, but Google could give it a try. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glass_ceiling https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glass_ceiling
