Same is true for women roofers. IT work however is just the right mix of bang and plausible denial.

- ldiracdelta 5y agoI have a female relative who agitates for more women in programming, meanwhile has a degree in coding and .... doesn't like coding so doesn't code. Yeah, anecdote, but also emlematic of the problem.
- zozbot234 5y ago> doesn't like coding so doesn't code What's the part that she doesn't like? It makes a bit of a difference whether she's complaining about incidental chores, or the core approach to the profession.
