> Would you deny that things are not tougher for women, persons of colour such as yourself, or latinos such as myself? Studies suggest that most people will try really hard not to discriminate against women and blacks. People don't tend to get mad when Latinos are discriminated against (unless they are Latino). Asians / Indians also have to work twice as hard to get any credit. Some of the problems women and people of color have could be discrimination. But as the article says, not that many women get in on the ground floor. I think the soft sciences have a bit of an inferiority complex, in a way. They want to be like modern medicine, and find the root problem before they look for a solution. If the symptom is "not enough women in tech", maybe treating the symptom (getting more women into tech, and trying to remove the most immediate obstacles they face) might be more productive than looking for some deeper cause.
