There are days when I feel bad about myself. Most people here in HN are smarter, generally more successful then myself. And then when they start talking about women in tech, and I feel much better about myself. : )<p>If &gt;90% of women in tech claim there are issues with women&#x27;s involvement in tech, perhaps it&#x27;s a good idea to consider the possibility that they may be right, instead of assuming they&#x27;re all sour grapes artsy complainers who missed out on the money boat and are now complaining. Someone&#x27;s posted an image of how all women sign up for gender studies courses, and no one signs up for CS etc. Yeah, you forgot something in that image. Add a bunch of dudes hanging around the CS stall, talking loudly about &#x27;t<i></i>s&#x27;, making jokes about their bodies, etcetera etcetera etcetera. The portrayal is accurate, but it shows the symptoms, not the cause.<p>For those who claim to be objective Vulcans who won&#x27;t agree with an issue &#x27;just because it&#x27;s politically correct to&#x27;, look at it this way: assume for a moment, this issue is real. Compare it to a fever. Whereas others are saying the causes of the fever need to be looked at, you&#x27;re arguing people get a lot of other diseases, and people get fever all the time, and looking at the causes is just going to waste your time from making cooler awesome apps. You cannot shut your eyes and ears to what women have to say, and argue they&#x27;re just a bunch of complainers, which seems to be the general theme of comments in posts like these.<p>Admins: Posts such as these WILL start flame wars. I feel quite strongly about this issue, and so do a lot of people from the other side. If you want to save the community from flame wars, I suggest heavily penalizing these.
