&gt;Maybe not a complete fallacy.<p>Maybe it isn&#x27;t. But we should approach this maturely. Often, there is no evidence for systemic discrimination and the stories are anecdotal and vague feelings of oppression. For example, it is often said that women are pushed out of CS courses because they are hostile environments to women, but when I attend uni I see that everything is completely technical and gender just doesn&#x27;t play a role. You sit in the same lectures, do the same exercises, the same exams. Absolutely fair. When I ask women why they don&#x27;t study CS, pretty much nobody says &quot;Well, I tried uni but I was discriminated against&quot;, no, they say &quot;Oh. It just doesn&#x27;t interest me.&quot; The biggest issue, however, is when force enters the picture. Women quotas, affirmative actions, and the like. This is the true face of discrimination, and what an ugly face it is. I am in strict opposition of such actions because they distort the market and harm the freedom of choice and the development of talents.
