Comment on We want to increase the number of women in software development.

Comments

Ok, i would like to see a more even ratio of men to women in software. However, making things that are "only for women" will likely increase the resentment between the sexes.

I do think we have a system problem in our education, but it's not that STEM favors men, it's that the REST of education heavily favors women. The recent college attendance numbers are a pretty good indication. STEM is just harder to discriminate, so more men are drawn to it.

Why would we resent this when it's already so easy for us to get into programming?
