What happened to women in technology? Is there a modern day woman computer scientist that even comes close?

Yeah, but men dressing up as women and ruining their bodies doesn't make them women.

People who want to be in tech will be in tech. This forced push might expose more women to the field, but I doubt it will change anything. In other terms, you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink.

Women were probably better programmers back in the day due to the fact that they have a much higher tolerance for "busy work." However these days most programming is intense logical reasoning work that women aren't necessarily the best at (not many people are, regardless of gender.)

Men are more prone to extreme ends of retard and genius. Women are more inline with average people.

This means on there are less genius and less retarded women than men.

Back then women had to work their asses off to stand on the same podiums as men, and no one patted them on the back for doing it either, they simply worked and then they... shut the fuck up about it because they weren't insufferable twats.
Today all you need is a Twitter/Tumblr account and a bad haircut, and then you can simply weasel your way into anything you want by claiming inequality or oppression, even though there is none. (or at least non that they shouldn't be able to handle)
If you're a femanon and want to be high-class CS major, guess what - just be a CS major! Forget any sense of self you have as a meatbag and work on your actual craft, and even if you are good at what you do, flaunting your position because nature happened to toss it's coin a certain way, you'll just undermine everything you've ever achieved.
Do you know who Napolean slept with? Who was Einstein's wife, if he even had one? Who boned Marie Curie? who gives a fuck, they're important people and even their close relatives were simply stepping stones in their history, and their work transcended their existence as mammals. If you want to get there too, stop being a mammal.

this person is right. I have heard directly from my boss that he wouldn't hire women. he kept making fun of this one girl PM from one of our providers before getting in touch with their management and literally forcing her to drop the project.

in his defense, she truly was incompetent, but shit. we deal with plenty of shitty consultants and still give them work.

there is a real bias against women in the industry. however, you are exaggerating the fuck out of it. if you are competent and a hard worker, you will find gainful employment in the field. no doubt about it.

it sucks, but it's a problem grills themselves need to fucking fix. stop bitching work harder. acknowledge that the situation is unfair and compensate. establish yourselves and don't fucking let go.

you will get nowhere by bitching.

I found your problem:
You define people by their gender. You are actually a sexist in disguise.

Of course there are companies that have a bias against women - but guess what? Some companies will have a bias towards women.

And - surprise, surprise - most companies won't give a damn but only judge your skills. In my company (rather small) we have about 40/60 ratio of women/men and all without any regulation.


Just stop making excuses already.

>Why is today fighting for yourself considered weak? Where did that come from?

It isn't and never was.

But look, there are two types of people:

The first type wants to put carpet on the whole planet, lest somebody hurts himself on the sharp stones. This types ignores the fact that it's a cruel world, that everybody fights everybody 90% of the time and that we live in an are of peace and equality like never before. It's the kind of people that bitch about tiny details and simply ignore that other parts of the worl have real problems and inequality.

The second type of person gets it right and instead of rolling out the carpet he/she puts on his/her boots and starts climbing..

Argument By Selective Observation:
also called cherry picking, the enumeration of favorable circumstances, or as the philosopher Francis Bacon described it, counting the hits and forgetting the misses. For example, a state boasts of the Presidents it has produced, but is silent about its serial killers. Or, the claim "Technology brings happiness". (Now, there's something with hits and misses.)

Casinos encourage this human tendency. There are bells and whistles to announce slot machine jackpots, but losing happens silently. This makes it much easier to think that the odds of winning are good.

Not at all.
At the end of the day, they stop playing dress up and pretend to be normal.
Mentally ill transwomen want to be women for all the mundane non-sexy times in their lives.

"When all else is equal between highly qualified candidates for entry-level faculty positions, professors in academic science overwhelmingly prefer women over men"

"In nearly every case, faculty preferred candidates with a 9.5 rating over those with a 9.3. Fewer than 5 percent opted for the less accomplished candidate, showing a preference for the highest-rated person regardless of candidate gender."

"But, they wrote, once women succeed in completing doctorates and applying for faculty positions, hiring is biased in their favor, as shown by real-world hiring audits as well as experimental evidence."

I don't see this differences between "playing", "pretending" and "beeing" something..

You are what you want to are and you have to stand up for yourself, it's that simple.

Wether you are flaming gay, a normie, transgender,or a trap - at the end of the day these are irrelevant details, lifestyles.

Gender, shmender.

This. It's because women live life in easy mode and never have to compete in anything except physical beauty. Men don't get any special help or any special treatment and have to fight and compete for everything. Men will always be the best at everything. Women are only here for men to fuck and impregnate. All these nu-males need to open up a history book and realize the truth that women have been considered worthless throughout history for a reason. Women's rights is a joke and only occurred because we live in a prosperous bubble. Of western civilization crumbles women will lose their fake rights real quick.
