What went wrong?

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

didn't she pass away recently? R.I.P.

There are lots of trannies in tech.

...

he said women, user. not scum.

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.

Little more difficult to lead the horse to water when the female horses' paths are blocked by high walls.

Tech sucks balls though. Seriously if Law wasn't obscenely oversaturated I would be doing that instead.

Has to be b8

...

Women are generally mediocre. There are only 1 or 2 women of note in any branch in the whole human history.

...

>tech sucks
>law is better

Yeah because you are so unique right?

That's grass, not a high wall. Nobody is going to build a highway for every individual female horse that wants to drink.

I assume you are speaking of employment. I am speaking of pure love for computers and technology. If money is what you care about, try the medical field. You are sadly mistaken if you think most people in the tech field are swimming in money.

The physical gender shouldn't even matter.

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.)

Fucking Sup Forums idiots

See

Here you go, (you)

What has this to do with Sup Forums, you retard?

Unless you are living in Saudi Arabia, women can just study, git gud and get a Job, just like everybody else..

Don't blame the "evil patriarchy" if there's only a small amount of women interested in programming..

Bell Curve.

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.

24 years ago aint exactly recently

Interesting theory..

I'm stuck in the 90s user, help me get out please

if you're stuck in the 90s maybe you should start running

IDGAF desu.

Most I want is qt programmer gf or at least one that knows her way around computers (which is much more common nowadays).

I have PTSD from search for programming scholarships and finding literally ALL of them were for women or minorities.

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.

>Unless you are living in Saudi Arabia, women can just study, git gud and get a Job, just like everybody else..

t. Straight white male

Holy shit. this ignorance. It's like you don't even know about the absolutely massive bias shown towards males in the recruiting process.

I regret not living in Saudi Arabia desu. They got it right with everything.

>programming in an alcohol-free country

it's hell

They do drink, they just do it in secret.

There's actually a bias towards females but nice try
If you select a sample of employed people, there are more males, but if you take a selection of applicants, more females will become employed.

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.

real women have penis
uhguhhhh so ignorant

>There's actually a bias towards females

*awkward silence*

Back to your "real" women

>implying both female and male Bell curves have the same median

cobol is a crap.

It endures, just like your virginity.

American culture degenerated into a sexist anti-women religious right wing hell since Reagan.

>t. Straight white male

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.

>woman in tech says she's a woman in a tech field
>"hurr shut up attention whore tits or gtfo you don't even know how to x/y/z."
>woman in tech does not say she's a woman in a tech field
>"What happened to women in technology?"

9/10 minority hires are incompetent.

There are plenty of women in technology for example almost all porn is online these days.

I can guarantee there's more competent tranny programmers than women programmers on earth.

ITT: nerdy dudes who don't talk to women pretend to be knowledgeable about gender issues

grace hopper was and is totally irrelevant. its just a feminist meme.

while i think she was important, she was completely overblown by feminists, that's true

they do this every once in a while, there was ada, then grace and now that chick with the punch cards, her name escapes me

>muh first compiler was made by a womyn

Keep falling for the propaganda, nu-males.

>"hurr shut up attention whore tits or gtfo you don't even know how to x/y/z."

I literally haven't heard that a single time on Sup Forums..

And just in case you didn't notice:
This is not Reddit, people get insulted for what they are, no matter what they are..

If you're such a sensitive plant, this place isn't for you.

That's the wrong way of looking at it.
Trap is a certain state of programming experience..

>hey, are you a good coder?
>look at me, I'm a trap!
>oh sorry, I didn't notice.. so can you fix my code please, user-sama?

Ahh, the good ol' "either you are a fenazi or you are a virgin" false dichotomy.. long time no see!

Nobody gets insulted for being straight, white, cis, male, etc.
Only people who are already socially ostracized get further insulted on this website. It's not about growing a pair, it's about defending yourself when someone's being a dick to you
Why is today fighting for yourself considered weak? Where did that come from?

Didn't mention virgin but if you're so eager to talk about your sex life...

I didn't mean crossdressing fetishists, user.
I mean literal mentally ill trannies who literally believe they're women.
By sheer volume of numbers, there exist more MtF trannies who are competent programmers than real women who are competent programmers.

>this obvious redditor here to defend his gender studies degree and epic python "geek" coding experience

>I mean literal mentally ill trannies who literally believe they're women.

RUNNING IN THE 90'S

Uhm, that's a thin red line between "!health traps that take hormones" and "ill guys who think they are women" you are drawing here, user.

Just saying..


Uh, that bantz!
Stop oppressing me !!#!$!$!#!


>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.

>Uhm, that's a thin red line between "!health traps that take hormones" and "ill guys who think they are women" you are drawing here, user.

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."

>they stop playing dress up and pretend to be normal

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.

Nice dubs

I wish I could have had Grace Hopper as a grandmother, she was awesome

Most underrated comment of all time

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.

>literally ALL of them were for women or minorities
This is what drove me to Sup Forums-tier thoughts.

I dunno OP, I'd argue the only men comparable to her today are Linus and RMS, and the latter is somewhat irrelevant now.

Women were never good at technology, I bet that whore slept with a bunch of men to get work done and for promotions.

Nothing. They always sucked.
>one or two mediocre women meme their way into math and science
>wouldn't even be notable by male standards
>"GIRLS CAN DO IT TOO GUYS! GIVE GIRLS ALL THE MONEY! MORE PROGRAMS FOR WOMEN!"
She's no Babbage or Turing, that's for sure.

Turing was a fag, so he doesn't count.

Holy shit. this ignorance. It's like you unironically believe this bias exists.
