>Women in STEM complain that they have less job prospects and feel uncomfortable in their positions. Many women feel they are disrespected, unrightfully criticized, and scrutinized to a degree unlike their male counterparts. A lot of the girls I meet in tech tell me stories of positive discrimination. One even said she didn't take a higher paid job because she didn't want it offered to her just because she was a woman (I believe the interviewer said that was why they offered it). I didn't hear these kinds of stories 5 years ago but I do now. It all kind of makes me a bit uneasy - I'm not sure this newfound enthusiasm for companies biasing hiring specifically to women is actually making things better for women in tech.
