Is the gender gap believed to be due to sexist hiring? I had thought getting acceptance letters and job offers was the relatively easy (and maybe even privileged) part, but then women have to deal with harassment, coworkers who would rather be romantic interests than collaborators, or just having to prove themselves more frequently and against a higher bar than the comparable men, so they're more likely to self-select out more quickly than men do.

- artichokes 5y agoIs it possible that there are things people might rather do than spend 8 hours a day coding enterprise web-apps, for 30 years? I wish I had the option to self-select out. I would much rather spend time with our toddler. If my wife were to volunteer to take up a programming job, because she wanted to relieve the need for time and resources from me so I could do what I want- is that relationship best described as oppression?
