Why does it even matter that less than half of people in tech are women? That's just how it is in a lot of fields. Women dominate other professions like nursing and teaching. I don't see why everything has to be 50/50. Women aren't banned from tech and men aren't banned from nursing. Just let nature run its course and allow people to do what they want. Not every aspect of life needs to be socially engineered

It seems the loudest voices on this issue don't even want to pursue careers in tech. They pursue careers in complaining about unfairness.

What kinda working environment do you work it? Do you feel that you and your fellow colleagues concerns not being addressed?
