How many female friends do you have that are into tech or enjoy programming or have taken it up as a hobby? How many women in engineering classes or computing science courses? Relatively less than men by a big margin.
Of course there's going to be a gender gap, because the pool is already filled with men. I've worked with women developers and they are perfectly fine like any other developer. Yes, there were more men than women. HR has more women and they are not at all interested in tech.
Gender is not an issue, it's that relatively compared to men, women seems to be less interested and hence making up a smaller portion of the job pool. I mean does software development need to be segregated like washrooms too so that we can have more women? If so, please do it.
Nobody is suppressing women from getting into technology field. How can you change the nature of the entire gender so that they fit this gap? How can you change evolution and gender specific social expectations?
