snip It doesn't seem logically possible to me that men and women can both be underrepresented, unless you use different definitions of "underrepresented" for the two...
The way it's presented the only females are the token dummies. This is just complete utter bullpoo. There were women when I was going to college. DEC's math expert was Mary Paine; she did not have balls in her pants. I had three coworkers in college at the computer center who were in math grad school. They were female. I don't recall the exact head count of males in grad school. 10 maybe. These were people who had the goal of getting a degree. There were lots of people who just took the grad clbuttes.
So are men. That is the tenor of your arguments. Are you being coy by setting me up with a "I didn't say...
You are getting told by people who are out in the field doing this work, that their shops do not agree with stats.
snip Maybe there are people saying "no women in computing" as exaggeration for effect. Maybe there are people saying it, meaning it, and being wrong. Mostly what I hear is people saying...
Look, there are lots of females going to college. So where are their heads counted? Are they counted? Why is it a sin to allow women to choose what they want to do? Why do they have to be forced to go into a field study that they don't like just so those infected with PCitis can justify their existence and feel good about themselves.
yes, she's a f***ing idiot; a f***ing idiot is somebody who knows what is the wrong thing to do and does it on purpose for the goal of making big messes. This woman is always denigrating the field of mathmatics.
Now, think about those insecure males and how they can justify their treatment of females because the "smartest" person on earth says math is stupid and incomprehensible. Since her opinion has the weight of the highest IQ, she must be right; thus, all females should be eliminated from math studies. Since math is used extensively in all science and computing, they should be eliminated from those fields, too. Now the women, who wish to coddle these male braindeads, have to agree with their men, to "support" them and not make them feel inadequate.
And this is how that myth became a public "fact". Now, the feminists have to have this "fact" in order to prove that they should have legislation pbutted to favor their viewpoints. They protest any female who does real work. In order to obtain the approval of these feminists (and their male counterparts), you have to have a 9 to 5 desk job managing a group of people.
I misread a "seemed to be" as "was", all right, but .... oh well, yeah, maybe it should have been clear: Unfortunately true. Supposedly some companies started figuring that out -- I...
Do you know how boring that is to anybody who wants to do real work?
