I suppose this is the one point I always find myself pondering when these women in tech arguments arise, why is there no push to for women in the oil-manufacturing industry? How many women do we have working on oil rigs? It's a very well paying job with a lot of opportunity for people with less than stellar backgrounds, but trying to get their life on track. There are lots of jobs out there that are close to 100% male, and some don't even require a lot of physical strength. Where is the outcry?
- rainbowmverse 9y agoI'm sure there's similar movements in other industries, and I'm sure there's someone in their forums saying something similar.
- on_and_off 9y agoAny proof of that ? Of course I only have a myopic point of view of the software industry but I don't hear the same noise from other industries

- gaius 9y agoNot that myopic; gender in tech is front page news in the mainstream press. Not so much about any other industry.
- Pigo 9y agoMaybe you have a point, I should look into this and see if there are forums where women are trying to push into this field. I have family that works on off-shore rigs, and I've never heard a peep about it. But that is anecdotal.
- gaius 9y agoIt's a very well paying job with a lot of opportunity Dangerous tho'. By the way, apropos of nothing, 95% of workplace deaths are men.
