Women of Computing

from female friends. That were in school and now in the field it's there

I accept that far less women than men work in computing. I believe however that this is large due to their own perception of the industry and their career choices. Almost all the women I know would describe working in it as "sad" or "geeky" and several of them are married men who do work in IT. -----Original Message----- From: cctalk <cctalk-bounces at classiccmp.org> On Behalf Of Toby Thain via cctalk Sent: 04 December 2021 22:24 To: General Discussion: On-Topic and Off-Topic Posts < cctalk at classiccmp.org> Subject: Re: Women of Computing On 2021-12-04 2:55 p.m., Chris Long via cctalk wrote: and the need to make toys to indicate it is somewhat sad. False. Women still do not play 'an equal role' in STEM today, and did not in the 20th C either. Have you ever reflected on why not? It is a systemic issue that has been well studied and documented, and most relevantly, described by women. > -----Original Message----- > From: cctalk <cctalk-bounces at classiccmp.org> On Behalf Of Brielle via > cctalk > Sent: 04 December 2021 19:53 > To: General Discussion: On-Topic and Off-Topic Posts > <cctalk at classiccmp.org> > Subject: Re: Women of Computing > Using the term ?woke? these days is a great way to render any point you are trying to make moot.
