It happens everywhere. The tech community just seems to really wants to fix this issue. But it really doesn't help when things like this read as if they are blaming all men. Even a lot of things that are supposed to help bring women into tech is not that effective as could be. Some exclude men from attending which doesn't help with the most important issue: helping women work better with men and helping men work better with women.
It would be much better that instead of referring to men as sexist jerks, we refer to sexist jerks as sexist jerks. I have yet to meet someone who has openly been against women working in tech, but I sometimes feel that it takes one post on medium to make it feel like we are not really progressing in the slightest.
Yeah. Well, I think I should change my own perception about my self right now.
But if there was something that gave me chills was this claim made by Sara
>The Internet is the largest recording of human history ever built
(I mean I'm not that dumb, but I mean I never considered that in a such crucial time we are excluding basically a half of the population by default).
Fuck. Men had the leadership in the field on politics for centuries and in most countries women vote since a couple of decades.
And the computers and internet will certainly will lead our lives for the centuries from now this is quite worrisome because turn the table is pretty difficult.
Reminds me of the time I was at LinuxWorld, ages back, and Sun had a Java booth. I wandered over and remarked that my mother was using Java. They thought I was insulting them. I wasn't.
I think I'm in plausible denial or perhaps I'm a blind jerk, but can someone confirm we are in such bad state(!!!?).
I know the gender income gap, and some people in HR prefer a dick but this was too awful.
