> Women get cut down later in the pipeline by shitty bosses, sexist work cultures, etc. Men get cut down as boys and, if they're lucky, they may find some support later in life if they're willing to conform to toxic norms.
If (as you say) the support comes from conforming to toxic norms, does the lack of support come from conforming to non-toxic norms?
Then wouldn’t the toxic norms, providing support, actually be less toxic - at least in terms of receiving support?
- Kye 4y agoSupport in the same way extremist groups "support" disenfranchised young men by telling them how to buy guns and build bombs while confirming all their beliefs about who's keeping them down with propaganda. I bounced off a tech career track because of all the sexism and, for lack of a better term, "bro shit" in the classes.

It sounds like you let a group of 'bros' decide your career track. The world is full of shitty people both men and women, you can't let their behavior drive yours.
- Kye 4y agoDoesn't seem like it's much different anywhere along the way after that. I did look. I only get one life. I didn't want to waste it in a field with no interest in changing. Very little seems different ~15 years later.
