Go take a look at the amount of men in the business of midwifing, it's even worse.
Is there anything that prevent a men to work in this field ? I know a guy who did, so I can tell you: Nothing.
If we lack of women in CS it's mostly because women themselves thinks it's not attractive, just like they don't see trucker, or construction worker as attractive jobs.
For the same reason teaching, widwifing, etc lack of mens.
IHMO: It's the culture that drive the inbalance in a given field, and the inbalance that create some macho mens, not the other way.
- ddagradi 13y agoGitHub is not a company involved in the business of midwifing. They are a company involved in the business of software development. Is it not possible that the cultural imbalance in all of these fields is due to sexism?
- marquis 13y agoNursing and other non-doctoral programs work hard to increase the numbers of men. It is never seen as reverse sexism in these cases.
