Why do you think women need help? Unless you think they don't have the same merit as men... which would be pretty sexist
They have the same merit, but not the same opportunities. You are being simplistic.
Sure they do. Name any type of opportunity in IT where women are not encouraged - or even selected preferentially
Go to a Toy Store: pink princesses for girls, toolboxes and legos for boys. That does not incentive STEM abilities in girls.
Right, but this reflects the innate preferences of girls and boys. On average boys tend to be more "thing" orientated (with many exceptions)
That 'innate' thing is a very vague concept. Is there any scientific evidence of that?
Sure- ell established evidence even in newborn babies http://bit.ly/1ORxUBz It shouldn't be controversial to say we're a dimorphic species
Thanks. I didn't know that one. But do you think our incentives match biological evidence or we exaggerate it?
I just want everyone to have an equal chance. Gender isn't important. So it's no good to create bias to correct for women's free choices
