And no, it doesn't seem strange to me that people are pushing women to learn coding. Coding skills provide great income, stability, mobility and independence. So yeah, thanks Google and others, who are trying to get more women in coding and increase their quality of life.

- vdaniuk 12y agoIsn't it obvious? Adoption of skills depends on the ecosystem of practitioners. Empirically, we are observing that women do not copy social behavior of the male part of the ecosystem and do not engage the subject of programming/coding/compsci. We need to reach a threshold value, a tipping point where girls and women would see enough role models and would have enough support networks to progress in the technology industry. This may be achieved by reaching a critical mass and that is exactly what Google and others are doing.
