&quot;Computer scientists and engineers are going to be designing the future that everyone inhabits. We need women and minorities to enjoy an ambient sense of belonging in those professions if the future they create is going to be one in which all of us feel at home&quot;<p>Oh how tired I am of this tech ignorant BS &quot;argument&quot; - &quot;women use tech too, so we need women designing tech for women&quot; or &quot;women need representatives in politics too!&quot;...<p>Listen crefully - technology is created so that everyone could use it without man&#x2F;woman distinction. If product is created specifically for women by 100% man team then they WILL CONSULT WITH THEM WHILILE ON IT OR GET FEEDBACK LATER. You know why? Of course you don&#x27;t - not doing what your target demographics want is suicide. That hawing said - women are majority so their influence is huge on tech. Same woth politics - good polititian doesn&#x27;t just represent one group, they strike ballance to help everyone.
