So when we don't force women into tech and nobody joins, what do we do? We still have this huge tech disparity between the genders. And someone things this is WRONG. So the next stop is, what, pay women twice as much as men for the same job?
Also, before someone brings the wage gap up. If women were getting paid less for the same job as men in engineering, wouldn't companies what to fill their rank with women in order to save money? As far as I know the wage gap only exists because men and women tend towards specific jobs. I am all for eliminating the stigma of a female truck driver or a male housekeeper... but aside from either giving out incentives that are unfair to another group... what can we do?
And yes, I am aware that there are still "boys club" or brogrammer organizations out there. Yes, this should be stomped right out. I haven't worked for one in over a decade though, so I don't know where they are. None of the major companies that employ around here would dare have sexist or racist hiring policies.
