One parallel I would point out is sexes in other species. If you look at many other species, sometimes females play dominant roles, sometimes males do, but very often males and females have different roles. Even though we are an intelligent species, many of our primal traits still shine through. I'm not saying a male or female should be forced to any given role, but rather let people choose the roles they want and don't force diversity for the sake of diversity.
- kennywinker 13y agoThe thing I take issue with here is not that he's saying there are differences between genders. I believe evidence backs up the idea that there are (on average) differences between how men and women's brains work (on average). The problem is "men are better at deep focus and that's the only thing that matters when it comes to programming, therefore men make better programmers".
