How is "typical male-tech resentment for being called creepy" functionally any different for the female job candidate? "No, he's not sexist, he just doesn't like women... for good reason!" "No, he's n

These wrong expectations have been carefully cultivated for over a decade in students who get to good colleges. For over a decade, they've been getting good scores and they've been made to feel that a good score is the inevitable

So why is computer programming such a male profession today, seeing as it requires attention to detail, language skills, and ability to sit and type rather than strength or aggression?

I'd disagree on your conclusion in paragraph 2 for the following reason: it's not that there is damage done to women's mathematical abilities, it's that there is damage done to their psyches. That damage can be wiped awa

Are you implying that it takes an aggressive man who can deadlift 400 lbs to write an iOS app?

You've just confused motivation, learning style, and competence in your comment. The article yesterday could be considered to be about learning style (it is certainly about the ability of eight-year-olds to sit still). The gender gap

I have to second this. For instance, everyone in education and policy circles these days is talking about Finnish education. Besides the fact that Finnish schools make sure every student eats enough and teachers have a lot of autonomy to sh

Yep. And if you have kids and disrupt the career you're an argument for why women shouldn't be paid as much or selected for the leadership track and if you don't have kids you'll still be judged as if you could pop one out at any moment (an

What? Do you only engage in relationships where you're stepped on? Plenty of men I know have the conversation about how many kids to have or not have. Yes, biologically women do the child-bearing, but it is -- for most couples -- a conversa

You're right about some of this, although you're overstating the case: about 44% of the homeless in the United States are single men; families with children are about 36% and single women are only 13%. (Figures for Europe are certainly diff

To elaborate on your too-short post, this article is the reply to so many comments above: it answers the questions "Does more information change behavior?" and "How can we change this lack of information?" The researchers in this randomized

Of course -- just like it's more acceptable to lay off a lady! Her husband can just get a job :) You single guys supporting your parents or supporting people you're not married to (for whatever reason) or sending money back home to help out

In particular, I enjoy getting to know the people who work at a local establishment and understand their taste. For instance, when it came to fine teas, I got to know one tea merchant well enough that she'd say, "This new green came in and

This may not be the best place to respond, but you say something I've seen a few times in these comments: "if you go sob in a corner because you receive criticism, then you're not going to improve." The corner part is up for discussion, but
