which just makes it extra stupid whenever some dude is like "she got hired bc gender". in sv tech, most entry level women have literally the same schooling & experience as entry level men. they're just as interested & qualified but have to deal w so much more bullshit
and at least in my experience the gender ratio in industry is categorically worse than in school, so it's not like companies have run out of qualified female candidates and are just trying to pump up the numbers
overall the point i am making is it takes a lot of bad logic to believe that women in tech, esp credentialed white/asian women, are getting hired despite being underqualified, and it's a shame that dudes who supposedly think critically for a living don't understand this
there’s a lot more to be said on the validity of credential systems, the ways gender intersects with race and and income and class, the bigger goals of diversity and inclusion and equity. but tn i just want to point out some dumb ass dude thinking
I agree with everything else in the thread, but I think this is incorrect. The gender ratio is pretty even at Stanford/Harvard/etc, but it's abysmal at state schools, which because of their size are a much larger percentage of tech workers
So I would guess that the very low percentage of women in tech companies, while maybe partly a result of discrimination in the hiring process, is mostly because there are way fewer women in the software engineering workforce
