&gt; Sewing kits, to me, sound kinda boring.<p>They do to me too! However the tech industry isn&#x27;t the only industry with these problems, we just talk about them more. I bought up the nurse example because it&#x27;s one I&#x27;m familiar with: I dated a nurse. By the time she graduated (around 2007 I think) her academic hospital had zero, as I recall - less than 2 to be safe, male nurses. I knew some civil engineers at college, out of their whole class: 2 women.<p>Every industry is experiencing it in both directions. It&#x27;s more unfair to women as the higher-salary industries tend to be the male-dominated. However, if my son wanted to be a nurse I&#x27;d want him to be able to figure that out and then feel that it was completely normal.<p>This childhood self-discrimination is pervasive and needs to be fixed.
