In Germany, a &quot;study&quot; is often cited saying that men were better paid than women. However, peer review uncovered that the media covering this study omitted the fact that the women also worked less hours than men and thus got less money (obviously).<p>This however does not stop &quot;female-rights-activists&quot; from citing it over and over again. I&#x27;m sick of it.<p>I also don&#x27;t like the notion that women are portraied as victims here. 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!<p>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? Who benefits from this?<p>I know no woman who is sad because she just can&#x27;t get hold in a tech job. If a woman is passionate about something, and pursues it, it will work out for her. Same with men of course.<p>Oh, and why don&#x27;t people go berserk because we have like 96% women as educators (kindergartens, pre-schools, ...). Oh yeah, right, I know, because you can&#x27;t earn as much money with that.
