The links go nowhere. All of the links I clicked on in that "article" (if that's what you call a blog post) were to search results for the linked words.

My son's daycare has a male teacher. They warned us, and told us that they felt compelled to warn us. We were ok with that. Though I had a male pre-school teacher try to molest me when I was young. I'd give more info, but the place is closed, demolished, and was pre-Internet, so there's nothing to link to. But I've done other "inappropriate" things with teachers (sleepovers and such, not anything that's actually questionable, just banned by current standards).

And it's not that the aspects of the job are feminine, but that any guy that wants do do "girlie" things isn't a real man. So to avoid looking feminine, guys avoid doing things that are woman-dominated.

No, you never understood it. Congress sets the budget. The Executive executes it. If the budget gives $10 to shoes and $100 to purses, then the executive can spend $10 on purses and $100 on shoes, and call the shoes purses, and the purses shoes. That's the way it works in the private sector, and that's where the government minions learned their tricks.

That'll just make it more available and more expensive.

Or the FEMA Czar after Katrina.

Non-profit hospitals still have to have a profit, or they go bankrupt. They just aren't allowed to pay that profit to the owners as dividends.

Yes, for the 30 seconds per day they have "news" they are. For the other 24 hours, it's all conservative opinion shows pretending to be the news.

The problem is that men are intimidated by the presence of women, according to the article. But in my experience, men are afraid to be in a "women's profession" because it makes them look feminine. Those are different issues, but it happened with nurses and teachers before. Once women are "allowed" in large numbers, the men run off.

But the issue is there *was*, until the '80s. Why?

I read where the vets are about 50/50 now, but with more women than men in vet schools. Used to be 80% male. Large animal specialties are still male. But is there a disproportionate number of female vets now?

The point is, when they show interest, they are less likely to have access to a computer. It's presumed a girl who likes computers will grow out of it. So they are discouraged, until they are discouraged.

Most men don't want custody. They just don't want to pay child support. It's the lying dead-beat dads that perpetuate these lies.

Girls like porn. They just aren't allowed to admit it. They also like different kinds, and the porn on the Internet is guy porn. And that doesn't explain the '80s. That was still the time of ASCII porn and such, before images were common. This effect pre-dated the proliferation of porn.

No. Men self-select the dangerous jobs. I've never met a deep sea welder who was a woman. Women don't self-select out of their area of interest, they are persuaded out of it by parents and colleagues.

Fixing it when the children are 3 is easy. But "invasive" to have children raise their children right.

When my son was 3 his favorite color was pink. It was bright and fun. When he was 5 and headed to school soon, he picked out his bag for school. He had the choice of Wiggles (Blue) or Dorothy the Dinosaur (pink). He picked the pink one. I let him, as it was his choice. When he got to school, the children made fun of him for having a "girls bag" (the exact same bag as the other, but different color).

Now, at 8, pink is his favorite color again. It took a few years to convince him that the opinions of others don't matter for that, and they were wrong. Every color belongs to everyone.

But beating "pink is a girls color" into him at 3 would have been easier and saved him a teary day or two at school, but at 18+, he'd be raising his children to be like the mean kids at school.

Similarly, fixing the sexism by parents (and others) as the children grow up is easier at 3 than 18. But in college, they are already 18, so the "fix" is much more obvious and extreme.

Oh, and it doesn't hurt CS to work harder at being inclusive. Women are run off by jackasses. And men into computers are more likely jackasses. Women will change jobs more readily to get away from bad people. So naturally, they'll change majors for the same reason.
