Just one quick note on "women are underrepresented in tech". You are absolutely right. What is the solution? You think that Julie's case is going to help that change? Or we should focus on the root of the problem, aka. education. How come in schools (elementary or secondary) nobody tells to young girls that they can become an engineer? Why is the society parents, teachers, media included trying to push those girls to more traditional professions? This is the right topic to bang on if you want to solve gender inequality in tech and not the frustrated and hatred feminist crap what people usually associate the problem with.
- pron 13y agoBecause women, as a group, are much less powerful than men – in tech in particular and in our society in general – blaming "hatred" on the weak party seems a little unfair, even if most men aren't intentionally sexist. And you are absolutely right. Sex discrimination is systemic, probably starting in kindergarten and even at home. However, it's hard to fix education if young girls don't have lots of positive role-models to look up to, and you can't make those role models unless education is fixed. So fighting sexism has to be systemic as well, and at all levels at once.
