Really!? Then, you definitely have not been around (or maybe from outside the US where mileage may vary). Just go to any big tech company campus, e.g. Google, Apple, Microsoft, sit on a bench and observe. My guess is that 10-15% of any large company's tech-heavy departments (labs, etc.) are women. Now, that is more probable than a diamond falling on your head.
- Tichy 16y agoIn normal life I don't hang around on the campus of Google or Microsoft a lot. Of course people you meet there are likely to be more tech-savvy than the average population. If you go to a diamond mine, odds of stumbling across a diamond are probably also slightly increased.
- Jun8 16y agoHmm, I thought we were talking about technical conferences, not "normal life".
- Tichy 16y agoSure, but people going there come from normal life, which might have shaped their expectations. Anyway, I am not really interested in the subject, so I shouldn't have commented. Edit: I am confused what the discussion is even about. Apparently those men were surprised. What is the point then of arguing that they should not have been surprised? Doesn't the fact that they were surprised kind of imply that they don't meet many tech-savvy women on average? What is there to discuss?
