Do you know about any evidence that other professions with a larger female/male ratio e.g., lawyers, doctors treat women somehow better than IT?

- fusiongyro 14y agoThat's kind of a distraction from the real problem, isn't it? We know we are doing this badly. It doesn't matter if other professions are worse; if they are, that just means they have their own problems to improve on. To paraphrase the rifleman's creed, there are many industries with this problem, but this one is mine.
