Women not only are hired in lower numbers than men are; they also leave tech at more than twice the rate men do. It’s not hard to see why. Studies show that women who work in tech are interrupted in meetings more often than men.
They are evaluated on their personality in a way that men are not. They are less likely to get funding from venture capitalists, who, studies also show, find pitches delivered by men—especially handsome men—more persuasive. And in a particularly cruel irony, women’s contributions to open-source software are accepted more often than men’s are, but only if their gender is unknown.
For women of color, the cumulative effect of these slights is compounded by a striking lack of racial diversity—and all that attends it.
... “workplace conditions, a lack of access to key creative roles, and a sense of feeling stalled in one’s career” are the main reasons women leave. “Undermining behavior from managers” is a major factor.
The researchers found that telling participants that their company valued merit-based decisions only increased the likelihood of their giving higher bonuses to the men.
Such bias may be particularly rife in Silicon Valley because of another of its foundational beliefs: that success in tech depends almost entirely on innate genius.

Because of feminism. I don't want my business to deal with some potentially crazy bitch throwing rape accusations everywhere and calling the aircondition units patriarchal oppression, so the best way to avoid it is to simply not have any.

The women will not shut up ever in meetings, they get interrupted more because they aren't courteous with other people's time.
When you go on endlessly and continually go off topic, you will get interrupted.

women build up cortisol and the only way for them to release it is to vent out the stress by talking.
the talking amongst themselves, however, stirs up even more stress between the women.
it's an ongoing cycle of insanity really. the only solution is to break them apart from the group and let them talk to a man, after venting to a man they will feel better and well balanced.
there's women i can't let work near each other because they stir up so much shit, and others that can't work together and will fight so i have to separate them as well.
at least they pay me enough to put up with this childish shit.

Women make up a small minority of computer science graduates. You cannot be hired in equal numbers if you do not apply in equal numbers.
>And in a particularly cruel irony, women’s contributions to open-source software are accepted more often than men’s are, but only if their gender is unknown.
Did that study finally make it past peer review? Because I remember hearing stories about that study while it was still going through peer review... and there were a number of issues with it.

It has nothing to do with choices of women. As disadvantaged minorities, women do not have free will and cannot be blamed for their choices. Men choose to discriminate for their own benefit and women have always been the primary victims.

Woman shouldn't work in jobs, only at home. I can understand in emergencies, she should work rather than starve, but when she has a good husband, she should stay home, and raise her beautiful 8 children, while the husband is forever grateful of the things his wife does for him (even though, she just housekeeps and babysits, it is special because she does it for him, unlike a job), and she is grateful to him for the resources he brings.
It is a proper way of organizing, maximizing efficency of a nation. I would bring back arranged marriages from the family, ban women from voting, working only when out of husband or money, repeal secularism between church and state, institute christianity or death law.
James Gomez
I'm doing a bridging course for chemistry.
Chem started with 5 girls, now just 1. 2 of them failed the first test, 1 went missing, the other went on a trip to Bali for the first few weeks of the course and came back completely lost on what we were doing.
Our teacher was going on about how the STEM brdiging courses aren't anywhere near as popular as humanities and the humanities have much more women.
Scholarships pay the majority cost of any STEM courses for any women in Australia but they're still oppressed :^) we had a female crew of uni students come and talk to us, all women. All of them had at least $5000 per year worth of scholarships just for existing, nothing merit based. This is on top of welfare.

>“workplace conditions, a lack of access to key creative roles, and a sense of feeling stalled in one’s career” are the main reasons women leave. “Undermining behavior from managers” Let's break this bullshit down:
>workplace conditions what? Don't tell me this is about the air conditioner being too cold. IT is about as posh as it gets in the workplace. If they are bitching about a lack of women to work with, women who are usually cancerous to productivity, then too bad also as IT is a fucking meritocracy.
>a lack of access to key creative roles sorry bitch. there's not much need for 'creative' positions in IT. If you want to be jonny ive, good luck, homeboy worked very hard and frankly got lucky too. If you want something similar where you get to be creative without being extraordinary technical you aren't going to find it.

Charles Flores
The hatred that men bear to privilege increases in proportion as privileges become fewer and less considerable, so that democratic passions would seem to burn most fiercely just when they have least fuel. I have already given the reason for this phenomenon. When all conditions are unequal, no inequality is so great as to offend the eye, whereas the slightest dissimilarity is odious in the midst of general uniformity; the more complete this uniformity is, the more insupportable the sight of such a difference becomes. Hence it is natural that the love of equality should constantly increase together with equality itself, and that it should grow by what it feeds on.
Oliver Bennett

They talk because in school, they were rewarded for participation and giving your opinion even if you're totally wrong. Since women are all idiots, they can't actually get away from this kind of thinking. Unfortunately, they're still rewarded for this behavior by beta males who think having pussy nearby at all times is a good thing.

Because proactive action and trash organizations like "girls who code" have flooded the market with incompetent women and now companies instantly associate their stupidity with actual competent woman. Before that, women in tech, while few, were at least as competent as their peers. >but we need moar womyn in tech! No, we don't. Lack of woman in STEM is not a problem. You don't see anyone complaining about a lack of men in nursing jobs.

The stupid thing about these kinds of pieces is that no one person can do anything about it.
I know I'm not sexist. I've been involved in hiring decisions plenty often, I just don't care - I want good people, not cocks & tits.
And you can't hire people who aren't applying. We've had like 3 women apply for backend (C++/whateverlangtogetthejobdone) jobs, one got it. We've had about 10 women apply for frontend jobs (HTML/CSS/JS), all of them were garbage and didn't get hired.

> women’s contributions to open-source software are accepted more often than men’s are, but only if their gender is unknown
I wonder if they have a real source for this. For example, my anecdotal evidence is that Paki / Pajeet women are the most competent (as a paki / pajeet can be) out of that gender bunch - which also correlates with results from ACM contests. Yet it is nowhere mentioned in the article.

Lib spectrum from most to least left: 0.5 to 1.5 and Conservative is 3.5 to 4.5 on a similar spectrum. Basically, being right wing and religious is the strongest predictor of reproduction in whites. The overall population skews super heavily on the baby boom generation, which is a fairly even split left to right, but the left side of that population group didn't breed much while the right side did.
Of course none of that matters since they'll both be dealing with minority status soon, but the white minority is shaping up to be really right wing. I just hope they never convert to Islam because if they do we are fucked.

It would be interesting if someone were to put together the data on this.
