Death of the Brogrammer

  > In many places, a woman cannot get promoted from entry level, and THAT'S the problem. They go to interview for a leadership role and get turned down because 'they just can't see her lead a team of all or mostly men.' Easily solved -- let women start their own software companies. Once that phase is complete, once it is men who can't rise above the entry level in a company run by women, things will sort themselves out. I say this because most of what's being said on this issue lacks any kind of vision. We hear claims that women can't do this, women can't do that -- but none of it is objectively true when examined. In fact, women can do anything they set their minds to. The only remaining question is ... will they? My one objection is the regularity with which I hear it said that these problems result from something that men are not doing for women. In fact, it is something that women are not doing for women and for themselves. The day women stop asking men to do it for them, will be the first day of the biggest tech revolution ever seen.
