Women Who Code (YC S16) helps female engineers level up in their careers
I don&#x27;t understand this constant fight to have 50%.<p>There are capable women who climb ladders successfully. The other women who couldn&#x27;t, simply couldn&#x27;t, just like many men who couldn&#x27;t.<p>Also, pregnancy and breastfeeding cannot be done by a man. A woman who aspires to be a mother will have to compromise on other things to be a mother, which probably will include a compromise in career.<p>A man who aspires to be a father will have to compromise on other things to be a father, which probably will include a compromise in EVERY OTHER FACET of his life ensuring he has a job to pay the bills for the woman and children.<p>Why is motherhood such a stigma? Why is career the all-important thing that EVERY woman has to pursue? Let the woman choose herself what she wants to do.
