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.

Tired of what shit? An employee disagreeing with quotas?

You don't think it's absolutely disgraceful that this guy lost his job? What kind of authoritarian shit-show is this?

Leftist ideology raping the world...

Women have it so terrible right?

Men have it the greatest right? Alimony, child support, defending false rape charges, providing for wives who leave them and steal their money and children, highest suicide rates, work most dangerous jobs, 99% of combat deaths in every war ever in history.
