<p><pre><code>  the fact that the women also worked less hours than men

Why is that? Could it be that women are still subject to traditional roles, even in advanced countries like Germany? <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;ec.europa.eu&#x2F;justice&#x2F;gender-equality&#x2F;files&#x2F;epo_campaign&#x2F;country-profile_germany_en.pdf" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;ec.europa.eu&#x2F;justice&#x2F;gender-equality&#x2F;files&#x2F;epo_campai...</a><p>Or maybe that women of a certain age are discriminated against during the hiring process because of maternity leave? <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;books.google.com&#x2F;books?id=26FB_ny0tVsC&amp;pg=PA114&amp;lpg=PA114&amp;dq=discrimination+against+women+of+childbearing+age+germany&amp;source=bl&amp;ots=7nQHGaSavK&amp;sig=v-e9AjoKhz7PxHzaUOfwPXD_7zw&amp;hl=en&amp;sa=X&amp;ved=0ahUKEwiz3IXkqu7KAhUMy2MKHbCWA2gQ6AEINjAD#v=onepage&amp;q=child-bearing&amp;f=false" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;books.google.com&#x2F;books?id=26FB_ny0tVsC&amp;pg=PA114&amp;lpg=...</a><p>Or any of those many other reasons that people talk about that explain the statistic?
The issue isn&#x27;t as black and white as you want to make it.<p><pre><code>  I know it&#x27;s also due to socialization, but do we really want to change the entire society just to shoehorn exactly 50% in our employee statistics?

Diversity increases performance. So yes, yes we do.<p><pre><code>  Most women I know don&#x27;t want to go into tech-jobs because they think it&#x27;s fucking boring. Live with it, people!
</code></pre>
I guess all those programmers who were originally women back when men saw it is as &quot;secretary&quot; work and there wasn&#x27;t a lot of money in it just absolutely found technology boring. Or all those game-designers&#x2F;programmers who were women, before it became popular and the market crashed? No, you&#x27;re right, there can be no other explanations.<p><pre><code>  If a woman is passionate about something, and pursues it, it will work out for her.
</code></pre>
Just have to navigate all that there discrimination and sexual harassment and it&#x27;ll be totally fine.<p><pre><code>  Oh, and why don&#x27;t people go berserk because we have like 96% women as educators
</code></pre>
Perhaps we can discuss why men aren&#x27;t seeking those positions.
