A quick google found this which probably means that women tend to rise into middle management quite easily - that's not unusual in most areas. I think the numbers look better than they are because there are not massively larger salaries for

Thanks for responding. Fortunately women don't have a single Leader so while Valerie may be doing good work through certain initiatives she should find that other women who disagree with censorship will not support these actions.

Yes, it's for younger girls for sure. Arduino is really going to open her eyes, especially if you can gather data and show how statistics can be used for training and informing computers to help us. If she's interested in programming I thin

Thanks for providing this information. I find censorship unethical and would have looked forward to Violet's talk. Also to assume that rape only happens to women is myopic.

>nobody cares that there are very-few/no male prostitutes Prostitution is very common in the gay and especially trans-gendered community. It may just take a different flavour of prostitution and a different sense of power balance.

Yes, they do. Or use gender-neutral names or non-de-plumes.

Nursing and other non-doctoral programs work hard to increase the numbers of men. It is never seen as reverse sexism in these cases.

It is estimated that 9-12% of programmers are women. I don't have any figures on salaries but most of us don't get to be CEO unless you start your own business.

A really good way to increase the diversity of your staff is to encourage education for minority groups.

Ada accepts all those who identify as female. Any trans-gender or female-identifying person should feel safe applying here. (I'm not in anyway affiliated with Ada, just checked their website).

Can you back this statement up please? I'm interested to hear where these comments originate.

>bolster your ego and social standing with video games I had never had it explained to me like that - maybe girls and boys separate themselves so much as teenagers there's just a huge amount of information we don't have. If I was back a

I saw a t-shirt once at a hacker conference that said 'I can read your email'. This was back 10 years ago now and I thought it was the best thing ever. Sadly they had run out of girls sizes and I never owned one, but I always wanted people

Memset isn't aweseome. It's what you do with that's cool. Explain what you do, not that you use Python or Go or C#. People want to hear a narrative, a story. What gets you really interested in your work? Why do you do it? Tell that.

Is this a zero sum game? Are there only 1000 jobs ever in the world and men are worried for their positions?

There are an estimated 9-12% women in the field of programming. Are you saying that 90% of the female population has no balls? Or is it more likely that due the systemic method of education, girls don't get interested in programming because

It's fine you think that. I think that hundreds of girls don't really care about that initial help, will get some seriously good programming done, release some fantastic code and not read your comment at all except with a passing glance at

I didn't write the article, but I agree with the premise. Women earn less, have children who come first. If you have small kids at home the best possible job is programming but you don't have a credit card or saving up for the winter power

Here's a good reason: your entire comment is judgmental and assuming. It's not about hearing "hey, good job girl! Have a cookie!" It's about not hearing "your code is badly formatted, didn't you go to CS school?" instead of "that was a good

From the article: "In working with women in open source, the Ada Initiative found that many women are reluctant to post their code publicly when they are first getting started in open source software. This reluctance has good reasons behind

Your statement doesn't make any sense given the context nor add to the argument.

I expect that if a significant portion of work was done to an existing fork, or a significant bug found, it would be celebrated and immediately pushed back to the community. It would be exactly the same as if I downloaded Linux, made some a

For what it's worth, you'd be completely welcome as far as I'm (as a female) concerned. Women don't want to just hang out with women but this is an opportunity for us to get our feet wet in the OS community. As soon as a project is underway

This reply is exactly why this initiative is needed. Can't you just say 'hey, more people contributing to open source!'

If you'd like to get your local Scouts group to work on code within the safe measures of private repos, I'm sure you'd also find sponsors. It's not a breach of Equality when you aren't stopping other people from doing something. I'm sure Gi
