>“We’ve crossed that threshold where women feel supported and comfortable,” said Eric Roberts, a Stanford professor emeritus of computer science who first obtained the numbers. “What we need to do is not turn anyone away because they feel unsupported, and a vibrant core community with a critical mass is essential.”

it was obviously a light-hearted joke you autist. he's not saying that it will definitely be exactly 15% after the first semester but yeah from my experience then the class will probably have proportionally more female dropouts than male dropouts. the fourth year students might not have any females left or just a few of them.

The rates won't drop though. They'll lower the standards so the women will pass just like they lowered the standards for women and niggers in U.S. public schools. Or, women will get free, exemplary tutoring while everyone else is left in the cold. After all, it's important to bring more women into the CS workplace to push the wages down as fast as possible.

I dunno, maybe we have a different kind of girl in mind. I'm not really talking about the bitchy mean girls hollywood sterotype. I'm talking about sweet middle class white girls that are naturally feminine and girly end embrace it. Ones that have feminine and girly interests. They like kids and small animals. They realise they're not academic and don't really mind. They like looking pretty and have grown good at doing things like making their hair look good over time.

Finding a girl who is somehow extremely attractive while also a being able to talk about Gentoo with you isn't going to happen (and you shouldn't even want it to happen).

That's an interesting theory. I'm struggling to see how that would work though because it's not my experience at all. Fuck, those sorts of girls tend to cry at world vision commercials, certainly not what I'd call lacking in empathy.

Maybe you're right though that they can often be unable to apply their empathy to novel situations. Is that what you're saying? Does that really affect you if you're dating one?

Different strokes for different folks, I guess. I guarantee you you'll end up frustrated with her though. Don't try and make women men. Remember, you have plenty of male friends to talk about Gentoo with. Girls should be girly.

She's pretty for her age, but your average checkout chick is prettier (if only because they're much younger). Plus the dumb cunt ran/is running Yahoo even deeper into the ground than it was before she took over.
>>
>>50757734
Of course, they are not lacking in empathy. But they struggle with any situation that isn't novel. Like, they will see how starving kids and animals in pain are sad, but they will not understand stuff like stress/depression over not accomplishing your work assignments.

That's an interesting point and I think a valid one. I don't think I'd mind too much but I can see how some people wouldn't mesh with that sort of personality.

I still think it's as close as you can get to ideal for a girl though -- at least for me. Nobody is perfect. If you get a girl who can sense that you're stressed out and highly empthize with your complex emotions you've got a unicorn. I think it's an unrealistic expectation.

You could get a girl who's a 6.5/10 and is able to talk about Gentoo with you.

Not sure if you're 12 or just clueless, but a relationship is about sharing your time with someone you care doing things you both like. Having to spend your time with a girl who doesn't share your interests gets incredibly exhausting real quick.
>>
>>50757990
>Women who are smart and attractive (or even just attractive) have too many options
I don't think a woman's options change depending on how intelligent she is for the most part. If she's pretty she'll have plenty of options.

I'm just saying that I think intelligence in women is overrated and, for the most part actually a pretty bad thing. And that personality is actually underrated. A sweet girly and feminine 6.5/10 is probably a better bet in the long run than an intelligent "driven" feminist 8.5/10.

>>
>>50758016
>You could get a girl who's a 6.5/10 and is able to talk about Gentoo with you.

Yeah, I could...but why would I want such a thing? As a previous anon re-iterated, I don't really want to talk about Gentoo with any girl, particularly my girlfriend. You probably won't understand until you've actually hung out with a truly vibrant, feminine, girly young girl. It's just a totally different experience to anything else out there.
>>

Yes, she's more likely to be less intelligent. I think that's a good thing. I like girls who are a little bit dumb.

No, she's not more likely to be a feminist. Any girl who embraces her femininity and enjoys being girly is not a feminist of any type familiar to me. If they claim to be one despite holding all the aforementioned personality traits -- fine with me.

I'm seriously fucking SICK of women who are too dumb to have proper interests like sports or machines and not plastering their face with multiple layers of makeup or parroting celebrity gossip.

It's not physically impossible for a woman to be girly, cute and feminine while having an interesting personality, then why is it so hard to find one?

To the bimbo enablers in this thread: fuck you, it's because of you and your low standards that women are boring as fuck.
>>
>>50758186
she isn't going to bug you just because she's smart you fucking autist. actually since she's smart she'll better understand how to help you (like she cooked food for you and after that she'll give you massage or someshit)´. instead with a stupid chick she'll have been fucking chad all day and was too lazy to cook for you and now she demands that you watch sex and the city with her.

>>50758244
I like being around people smarter than me. I just don't like dating smart women. Not sure why that's a difficult thing to comprehend.

See this is where the fact you're an actual cuck comes out. Enough of this shit.

The smart girl gets home from her important job all stressed out. The dumb girl gets home from her part time job as beauty therapist less stressed out.

The sweet, feminine dumb girl sits on the couch with you and tells you about that cute dog she saw today and the fact that she really likes her new dress. She looks pretty while doing it and you relax and unwind together at the end of the day.

The smart girl sits on the couch with you and starts trying to dump all her pent up bullshit from the day onto you about how she had some annoying client and the fact that she's a stressed out annoying cunt. Then she finishes the day by reading her book alone.

Why would a software engineer want to date another software engineer?

>>
>>50758186
>my smart nerd GF who keeps bugging me about computer shit
First of all, if you feel like "computer shit" gets tiring, you might want to back to Reddit where the casuals like to hang out.

Now, why the fuck do you think a smart girl is going to "bug" you? Any sensible living being, be it nerdy woman, nerdy man, dog, cat or pansexual dragonkin will want to listen to your day at work and then do something else to let your mind rest.

A nerdy woman should be able to provide some useful feedback on your daily stories and know exactly how to deal with exhaustion from doing such things. A dumb woman is very likely to be a narcissistic piece of shit that wants all your attention and energy redirected to her.

I think you should value yourself as a human being and get what you really deserve.

Yeah, but you wouldn't want a physically strong woman, and if you're both the brawn and the brains, there's nothing left to complement is there? The best solution is to have a smart girlfriend that works in a slightly different domain, but if the domain is related, it becomes easier to relate as well as making cooperation possible.

I had this in my engineering program. The admission average for women was 20 points lower for women (73 vs 93) because of quotas. We had about 1/3 females in our program and only 3 women graduated in a graduating class of 87. They dropped like flies after the first semester. The faculty even gave them easier year projects and special TAs too.

I almost feel sorry for them; they wasted so much money after being accepted into a program they had no right to be in.

It's not just me, you also seem to think "smart girl" automatically implies "/g/ tier autistic piece of shit", which is not true either. Women are much more likely to be caring and not autistic than a man.

This

I dated a girl who's long-term goal was to save up some money so she could travel somewhere. I asked here if there was anywhere particular she wanted to go, and she said "no, as long as they have beaches and awesome nightclubs and sunny weather it's fine"...

There were no next date after that.
>>
>>50758590
I never said she should have no interests. I said she should be feminine and girly, with femine and girly interests.

Absolutely, she should have interests of her own.

> It's fun for a while but their lack of ambitions and long-term plans is really depressing.

Depends. I mean if you're going to marry a girl ideally she wants to be a stay at home mum/housewife and doesn't have any plans that would interfere with that. But that's a whole other discussion really.

I've tried to get into smart girls, but I can't. I don't like them at all. I can work with them in a professional sense but I could never bring myself to date one. Femininity is such a beautiful thing and intelligence dilutes it.

She's trashy. Again, the problem is not being dumb, it's being TRASHY.

It seems like we're arguing about different matters.

I don't see anything wrong with having quick dates with simple-minded girls, but I wouldn't ever let it develop into a full-blown long-term relationship.

>>50758671
No, that's the thing. She wasn't particularly trashy at all (it's pretty common for girls in my country to go clubbing and stuff like that).

She was just completely void of ambitions and long-term life goals.

>What if you asked her what her long term goals were and she said "umm, I don't know really...I really like kids though! :)" That'd be far less bad.
That is equally bad in my opinion. Kids is something you're supposed get after having achieved your life goals and having a steady career.

All comes down to taste.

I'm surrounded by intelligent people in my work environment, and my male friends are also very intelligent.

I don't really need to duplicate that experience with my girlfriend.

You might want to, that's fine. I don't feel the need to. I think there's something beuatiful and unique about women and it isn't how smart they are. It's their feminine aura. It's how caring they can be, how sweet they are, how soft they are. I like girls who exude femininity and girlyness because that's what makes them so different to men. Maybe one day you'll understand how great a girl who embraces her femininity can be.

Anyway I'm off.

He also doesn't understand statistics, because in a year-by-year basis the numbers imply that if the majority of those women are first-year, then the number of women dropping out of the major will be replenished by the number of women joining the major.

The statistic in particular represents a total number of women throughout the curriculum, and not separated by year. We have no claim over how many of those are first year.

What I've learned on women when I did my degree in cs .

At the time (4 year ago).

At start, around 15% were females.
From this 15%, half of them were dumb as fuck, I don't fucking understand why they were here. Dumb like failing to parse a json after a whole session doing javascript and python.

25% of them were here to find a fedora boy. They almost all left after the first year as most of us had a girlfriend.

10% were genuine interested women that have interest in cs.

5% (in our case only one) kicked ass and now she's doing her major.

Almost all the dude get a job (60%) or doing a major (30%). The rest left. More than half of the women left. Only one is doing her major.

I think I would feel intimidated by smart/knowledgeable women. There, I said it.

Though I wouldn't know. Never met any.

But then again I have only met a handful of men that I really respect for their knowledge, intelligence and experience. I guess three in total.

No women so far, so I wouldn't know, but I expect some conflicting feelings. I enjoy learning from men, and I think I would enjoy learning from woman as well, but my raging boner would probably distract me from what we were discussing.

I'm all for more women in tech. Currently I work for one of the biggest IT companies in the world and I have seen maybe 3-4 women in the whole office(if you don't count the receptionists/cleaning ladies)? This is fucking bullshit. Seriously.

Yea, I mad.
>>
>>50771831
>Though I wouldn't know. Never met any.
that's unlikely unless you live in a real cesspool of a backwater town or something. If you don't, then it's just more likely that you ignored/overlooked any intelligent woman mostly because of the kind of mindset that leads one to say he's never met a smart woman.
>>

>>50771863

I've met plenty of career women in my life, working in marketing/accounting/customer relations, stuff like that.

None of them I would consider someone to look up to if they were men, as in the case of 3 men I've met in my life. Role modes you could say. They were average for the most part. And also not very curious beyond their own field.

Waaaaaaaait. I just remembered. There was one I respected a lot. She was my artifical intelligence teacher when I was in uni. Never had a converssation with her beyond classes so I wouldn't know about other stuff but when it comes to computer science she was pretty damn cool. Now that I think about it I guess I had kind of a crush on her.

So yeah, I retract my statement. I met one woman that I looked up to.

>>
>>50771918
I'm not sure I understand. The threshold for "smart/knowledgeable" is a lot lower than "role model", and you seem to be conflating the two. It would be troubling if you went to university and you claimed never to have met a woman who was smart (or even that you only met 4 people you would call smart).
>>
I don't know that if I had a girlfriend that was very tech savvy I would enjoy talking about tech with her. I figure it would get boring fast.

I am around plenty of men in tech and we mostly talk about our pet projects that are often not tech related, media, drug consumption and sometimes just random stuff.

But I guess that's because we work together and when we leave the office we've had enough of IT bullshit.

I don't know. I wouldn't mind cuddling on a cold saturday with a girl while coding and have her give me pointers on what I could do better.

>>
>>50771948

>The threshold for "smart/knowledgeable" is a lot lower than "role model"

I guess. It's just that most women people would consider "smart" do bullshit like the stuff I mentioned: marketing/hr/accounting. So in simple terms - bullshit.

I wouldn't consider anyone doing that stuff smart.

Programmers/sysadmins/networking engineers(for example) are smart. They understand, fix, and create complex systems with complex relations and interdependencies and hundreds of functionalities. This is difficult stuff. The only woman who had an appreciation for that kind of STEM stuff was the AI teacher I mentioned.

And yes, I do mean to say that STEM is supperior to humanities in every single possibly way and it requires far more intelligence.
>>
>>50771948
I don't consider "knowledgeable" to equal "smart". And I don't consider dumb/smart to be a black/white choice. Most people are somewhere in between. Frankly I don't think I've ever met anyone who had me go "holy shit that guy/gal is smart".

>STEM is supperior[sic] to humanities in every single possibly way and it requires far more intelligence.
No offense, but this kind of dismissal really only means anything more than arrogant, solipsistic bullshit if you've given the humanities et al. a fair shake.

If the humanities, social sciences, etc... are trivial, prove it; go earn a degree in some program of that broader field (even a bachelor's, I'm not going to be a dick and insist on a Masters or PhD) and then come back and tell me it's not rigorous. Otherwise you're just turning your nose up at something you're judging from 10,000 feet up. Any humanities major could do the same to you, with equal credibility.

I'm just saying that you really don't have to be smart or well educated to do something like hr bullshit, marketing, journalism or whatever. Most people doing it are average or below average.

The same is not the case in IT for example. If you want to be a good... say, networking specialist, you need impressive intelligence and a LOT of knowledge. There are not stupid successful networking engineers.

There are stupid and successful HR/marketing people/journalists/whatever. Plenty actually.

One requires intelligence to be effective, the other does not.

If you're saying that it's not sufficiently challenging, feel free to go for an MA, but funding is sparse for masters students, so I was offering that you just pick up a second bachelor's while earning the one you actually went to university for. Again, it sounds like you're saying this is totally trivial, so I look forward to hearing no complaints from you about why this is such an unreasonable request.

this qualification doesn't get applied to any of the humanities jobs you dismissed, but you seem very intent on delineating the good networking specialists from the shit ones. Do you not see that this kind of bias - knowing the qualifying characteristics in your own field, but being largely ignorant of other fields - is screwing up your analysis?

Also, I'm not going to waste time and money on getting a degree in something that is completely and utterly useless.

I can enjoy learning about humanities by self study. By reading some decent books in my free time.

I'd rather invest my time and money in pursuing a specialisation that actually produces output that adds a lot of value to anyone that hires me.

Humanities don't add real value, they add perceived value.

>>50772257
This is a convenient and fundamentally misguided way of evaluating non-STEM fields. The humanities offers ways of thinking about the world critically; trying to assess the value of a worldview like that in the same context of engineering or mathematics is literally nonsensical. It's like asking if your breakfast tasted yellow.
>>
>>50772245

Bad networking engineers don't keep doing networking because their shit aint working. No one hires people who do not produce effects. In STEM if you can't make things work, you are useless and you get left behind. There's no subjective scale of "goodness". If your shit doens't work it doesn't work and that's that.

Yes, there are people that achieve sub-par effect. But the thing about STEM is, you can EASILY prove that their effects are in fact sub-par. That's the thing about STEM. You can objectively check and verify that their work is inefficient. And fire them and get someone better.

There is no such means of measurement in humanities.

I think like this is the moment when I drop the mic, if I had one.
>>
>>50772272
You can't rigorously use what you learn from self study without applying that insight, in much the same way that you can't claim to understand engineering purely from self study. Again, my point is just that you're turning your nose up at things like philosophy and history without any proof that you understand them sufficiently to assess their rigor.

>>50772281
I'm not asking you to eat shit; I'm asking you to try to think and articulate yourself at a university level in fields STEM students rarely do. If that seems so parallel to eating shit to you, then I don't really know what to say. This is like when non-math people jokingly say they're math-illiterate and then laugh it off like it's no big deal; if you can't understand why this is a bigger deal than you make it out to be, I'm not even sure where to start.
>>
>>50772306
Philosophy and a number of humanities fields are basically feeders into methods, modes of inquiry, and ways of thinking about things in lots of other fields. If you're not seeing rigor in these fields, it's because you're eating the junk food equivalent of these fields.

I disagree. This takes some knowledge. If you are working in the field, then yes, it's easy to notice one of your coworkers doesn't know jack shit and does a really shitty job. But many managers and/or heads of small companies can't tell the difference. Just appear busy enough and they'll think you're working hard, make things work barely enough and they'll be happy they got such a smart specialist on the team.

Smart women are just so damn attractive I can't help it. I lost her as a friend because she started ragging on me for being an arcanine, basically.

I agree with that. If you have no context and your scale is so small that you have no internal competition, sure.

>>50772245
Not the conversational partner you're replying to, but I think I get his point. The difference between STEM and Humanities in that regard would be the implementation.

The Humanities look back and trace their steps here. STEM looks around and, after deliberation on which direction is forward, takes a step.

You can have intelligent people in humanities, just like you can have morons in STEM fields, but STEM doesn't entertain that sort for very lone in most cases. It's too competitive, and you can objectively be called out on your performance for being inferior to another. In the humanities, the spread is too horizontal.

The result is a huge crowd of people that can hide in plain sight with mediocrity as long as there's a handful of people getting singled out for being head and shoulders above the rest.

describes some places I've worked. I don't think I'm convinced that STEM is inherently more rigorous. I could probably make an argument that a number of STEM fields largely evaluate you by your ability to follow instructions and add negligibly in any intellectually creative way, whereas humanities researchers seem to have to come up with a whole way of thinking that hasn't been come up with before.

To that end, I think I can agree that there's more horizontal spread, but people still need to evaluate one another, so you find that humanities folks have to be knowledgeable about content spanning tens of thousands of pages of writing. I don't think that's the case in STEM fields. You can say it's because STEM is more concise, but I could also say that humanities have to get subtler points across, so they need to use more words and be more specific about their words to distinguish their ideas from others more simply described in the past.

And we could go on and on.

Math, 1+1=2 by page 362. Note this book has some shake foundations.

>performance
Engineering is the easiest one to measure performance. Shit works or it doesn't. Like mechanical engineering could be filled by specialist, but shit goes wrong in electrical engineering if you make the smallest mistakes. Chemical Engineering is probably more difficult if you have trouble with rote over skill.

>sciences
Well the human ones, Psychology, etc, but I don't count those as science. Chemistry is kind of a meme degree, as is biology.
>>
>>50772449
2 things:
1) it shouldn't take 4 years if it's not as intellectually rigorous. If it takes less time to master, then you should be able to handle more courses and finish sooner. If it takes 4 years - in the same ballpark as a STEM degree - then you're agreeing that it take similar intellectual work to achieve the same end. But this is such an aside that I don't want to get into this any further. I'll drop this point if you don't care to nitpick over this.

2) There's a very long tradition of people studying subjects in the humanities, and a lot of intellectual work has yielded lots of useful stuff. I wouldn't say that the same is true for eating shit (but that might be different in some place, like wherever you live). To take a more useful example, the durian fruit presumably smells like death, but many people eat it. Dismissing it as tasting like death, having seen many people eating it, without trying it yourself is a perfectly reasonable but totally wrong series of logical steps.
>>
>>50772535
Lots of people say they do not like durian, without trying it.
>>
>>50772526
Are you quoting the Bertrand Russell proof? He was a philosopher first; you know that, right?

Much of the propositional logic that you have in mathematical proofs comes principally from philosophy. This is the kind of shit the humanities deals with - emerging fields, ways of thinking, and people trying to wrestle with the notion itself, let alone the quantification, evaluation, and standardization of that study.

I don't understand how you can know the fields philosophy has birthed and dismiss philosophy and its associated fields with such certainty that more future cornerstones of what *you* would respect as intellectually rigorous fields aren't still waiting to be sussed out.

Yes, and they literally don't know what they're talking about; they're deciding that they don't like the taste of something informed purely by its smell, which is reasonable in most cases but clearly wrong here, as we all know on an intellectual level that the durian's smell is misleading.
>>
>>50772593
>muh philosophy
Literally every philosifag comes back to this "argument." Philosophy didn't cause other fields, if it "did", then houses can be considered the birthplaces of science, because science took place in houses at one point in history.

There's we can't have a degree in rhetoric, logic, or argument, because philosophy has squashed any reasonable metrics of being intelligent and articulate. There's a reason Math and Computer Science aren't philosophical degrees, and that's because we all know philosophy is about jerking off with words.

>humanities researchers seem to have to come up with a whole way of thinking that hasn't been come up with before.

Now this bit intrigues me. I haven't heard of any of these new methods of thought?

And that's not to be seen as a call out, it's just something I don't get. STEM research gets applied outside of academia, even if only filtered over time and experienced more peripherally. I would think that, if humanities researched resulted in completely original methods of thought, these would catch on to the general public.

It seems like making your own rules, in which case your argument that STEM doesn't evaluate on your intellectual creativity would be incorrect.

STEM has rules. Laws, even. We can't come up with a new way for the universe to work in our research, or a new way for chemical x to react with chemical y under conditions z.

Our creativity has to be expressed in ways that still condone to these rules, and even creativity that causes a paradigm shift does - guess what - introduce more rules! If our current understanding of physics was proven wrong today, we'd be researching and writing up rules tomorrow.

Humanities seems to have the freedom of not needing to abide by the fundamental laws of the universe and instead can skirt by on the far more flexible rules made by people themselves.

People get Chemistry degrees because they can't hack it in Engineering fields or medical. People get biology degrees because they can't hack it in nursing (lol) or a medical field.

If you can afford to be a Doctor in those fields, go ahead, but to say someone getting a BS or even MS in the field won't be doing a job a trained chimp could do in a lab is ridiculous.

everything in ethics and philosophy falls in the humanities. every way of evaluating ethical dilemmas - utilitarianism, kantian ethics, etc... - are all the output of the humanities.

The whole point of this tangent is that durians don't taste nearly as bad as the smell suggests. If you're not debating that, then you're grasping at straws at this point. Yes, smell and taste are closely intertwined in our senses, but the durian is existence proof that your sense of smell can be deceiving.
>>
>>50772844
But not always the result of those specifically disciplined in its study, and there certainly isn't to my knowledge a new way of evaluating ethical dilemmas for every humanities grad there is.

>ethical dilemmas - utilitarianism, kantian ethics, etc... - are all the output of the humanities.

Ethics is an entirely human construct though that doesn't have to obey any overriding fundamental principles or even be based on any real-world observations.

In other words, Philosophy is literally Write Down Whatever You're Thinking Of: The Subject
>>
>>50772893
I can point you to dozens of CS papers that have been published in the last year alone that will either be disproven someday or will (mercifully) have no bearing on the rest of the world, and will descend into obscurity. They'll certainly never be rigorously applied to the real world.

The same is true for most research. This is life for an academic - most research output is - at best - only negligibly impactful.

>>50772956
>ethics is an entirely human construct
I'm not sure I see the issue here. If you have an interest in something more generalizable to the universe, great, but dismissing a field for only being generalizable to the human race is kind of stupid.

As for philosophy being open to anything you want to put on paper, this is unbelievably stupid. Again, a non-mathematician would be equally justified in looking at a college level math proof and saying "this is all nonsense! I could write whatever gibberish I wanted and it'd be just as valid". Just because you don't recognize that people in the field are responding to, critiquing, and building on one another's work doesn't mean it's not happening. It just means you're not aware of it. Which is fine, because you're not a student of philosophy, but becomes a problem when you charge in like a retarded bull pointing at things and saying they're arbitrary and meaningless.

Coding requires ZERO labor to perform. Of course women will eventually flock to it, then dominate it.

Women gravitate to ALL non-labor intensive work, and are especially absent in hazardous work. Which is why men perform 95% of all hazardous jobs and suffer 90% of all job related injuries and deaths.

Welcome to the new world. You guys should just look into another field of work. The gelded lady-boys that are currently in the tech field are doing their best to remove men and replace them with women. Coding and IT jobs will be the new nursing field within 20 years.

The only jobs secure for men are those high in labor or risk of death. Get used to it.
>>
>>50774037
We'll make computers and robots do all the dangerous jobs eventually anyways.

No qualms with women finally helping out with the brainy jobs, though. They kinda were kept out of it but also kinda took their sweet ass time to even get started with doing those.

Actually, over here, comp.sci and so on still has not quite +- the 50/50 ratio yet, and it's not quite that for STEM either (S and M generally slowly start to work, though.)

>No qualms with women finally helping out with the brainy jobs

LMAO. Over 700 programming languages, 99.9% of them written by men.

Women can parrot tech work, though they won't innovate. ALL industries have and will be created by men. My God, did you even look at the article. Stanford had to go out of their way to even get women into the field.
