I'm female, I work at a university that is considered in 'the ghetto' as a software developer. There are a lot of issues in my city that range from everything from homelessness, to gentrification, mental illness, addiction, etc. I've seen the consequences of discrimination from everything from skin color (I'm white, many of my siblings are black or mixed), to gender, to socio-economic status, etc. I've also spoken on the internet for a long time, and I know what it feels like to feel silenced with the push of a button. A downvote. It's annoying. It's annoying to know people studying machine learning are only doing it to control how people think, to control behavior, to control wealth, or whatever the fuck else they want. So, how many times does this have to wrap around itself for people to understand, downvoting people on the internet for complaining about how the world of math and logic seems largely presented as a male world, is part of the problem? Even more ironically, MLK gets quoted. All men are created equal. Are you focusing on the word men in that rhetoric, or are you understanding the message?
