Very good article on the troubles of women in the technology sector. For all the talk of social justice you hear from liberals, there are some areas where it really pans out the opposite way they'd like you to believe. Having had a job in this area for a little while, I can verify a lot of the experiences mentioned in this (not all, but enough). It always perplexed me how you had all these really smart people yet had some that legitimately believed women were just less capable, or had no right to offer input in the workplace.

Anyway, would recommend it if one has the time.

Remember! Only toothless, inbred rednecks can be sexist/racist/homophobic! And of course, expensive education = more intelligent, better morality.

What's funny is I had already stereotyped a large number of the men in the article who work in these STEM fields as being a bunch of neckbeards who believe that they're vastly more intelligent than everybody else around them; especially the womenfolk.

The execs like this stereotype because it focuses the forces of feminine anger at low level workers and powerless basement-dwelling betas instead of them.

The key reason there aren't all that many women in the tech sector is that they have better things to do. Same reason for why there aren't all that many women on this board.
