Neither the idea nor this article seem to be helping to encourage girls in technology.
- brokentone 12y agoReally no one thinks "I got shipped to California to date tech guys" affects women's view of the male dominated tech industry in a negative way? Weird.
- torbit 12y agoI don't believe that was point of the article based on the first paragraph "An online start-up (tech) was crowdfunding a shipment of single women from New York to San Francisco".
- Dewie 12y agoGirls/women in technology is a totally separate issue. If the issue is with the women that flew to SF, then I think that there are a lot of different kinds of people and archetypes - these people's existence shouldn't discourage other people with different inclinations and/or ambitions. There isn't, or shouldn't be "one role model to rule them all". If the issue is with the men that they met, then I guess women in technology shouldn't date them if those kinds of men put them off? Romance and work is separate, at least if you want it to be.
- smsm42 12y agoIs that a requirement for every article? I'm sure a lot of articles don't help to encourage girls in technology, even those that include mentions of women and technology. It just wasn't the point.
