What if it's true?
- MisterBastahrd 7y agoWhat if he's just mediocre in all aspects of his life and the reason he doesn't have tenure is because he's easily replaceable?
- wayoutthere 7y agoIt's absolutely not; women get fed up from hearing this crap all the time and just go do something else where people don't insult them all the time.
- himinlomax 7y agoThat's not a very powerful argument. In fact it's not an argument at all. And it doesn't even answer the question: WHAT IF it's true? Not is it true, not how morally bad is this, not how do you or "women" feel about it (using quotes because implying women as a group share such a feeling and that you know what it is sounds just bizarre on the face of it.)
- manfredo 7y agoIf it's true then we will end up establishing discriminatory policies to try and achieve parity when the pool of people interested in computer science are not close to parity. I've witnessed this at several companies who set diversity OKRs at 30-35%.
