Liukas believes that the profession only became dominated by men after people realised that it was well paid and highly creative.
Might be projection on her part - there are professions she could see herself wanting to do, because they paid well - Assumes all the men are the same.
My parents wanted me to be in Finance, Accounting or in Medicine because those jobs paid well and had prestige. I went in Software Engineering because I tinkered with programming since I was 13.
I'm sure she'd be similarly offended by reading same sexist remarks from the article, switching genders:
"Why men make gifted coders"
"Liukas believes that the profession only became dominated by women after people realised that it was well paid and highly creative."
- mauricemir 11y agoRemember that Liukas is not a native English speaker and she might not have understood how that will be understood. Secondly when you talk to any journalist you have to be ultra careful they don't twist what you say into some thing that fits their agenda or their own biases.
