It can seem weird until you realize it's to counteract gender biases everywhere else. We need gender-specific ways to get more girls into engineering, to fight against all the other bullshit that's keeping them out. When/if that bullshit is gone, we won't need the gender-specific stuff anymore.
- andrewfong 12y agoSure, but I wonder if marketing a pastel colored build-your-own-dream-house is counter-productive as far as counteracting gender biases go.
- rimantas 12y agoHow do you know that we "need"? Maybe we just want, but don't need? Did you ask the girls first? Or did you assume, that we need to get them to 50%? Are you sure you are not fighting bullshit case with bullshit means?
- deciplex 12y agoActually I do assume parity is the ideal, unless a strong argument is presented otherwise. Do you have one?
