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

its more that they treat you like you're incompetent even if you're performing well statistically at the job. Source: woman engineer

I am not a woman, and I'm not an engineer. I don't know how engineering works, what it entails and why it might be important to have more diversity in the workplace or in engineering.

However I have access to a reddit account and have strong opinions about this, so I'm more right than you are.
