Only 1.5% of open developers are women?
Hahahahaaa. That's less than the 20 to 1 I observed.
But wait, how dare you bring real statistics and facts into this? You sexist. It's because Jonny had access to a computer and Jane didn't. Hahahaha, wait, that whole nurture thing is more bullshit liberal lies.
But still, you can't bring up facts. Baritus has spoken, and women are equal to men. At least to him. In his experience women are equal to him, which very very sad. It's like getting beat by a woman in sports or in arm wrestling and then thinking that's the norm.
Anyone who's gone to college and taken really difficulty logic courses has at some point said: "Hey, where's all the hot chicks?!" And that's not sexist, I would have given anything to have those marketing and logic-less degrees swap out their women for all the men in my classes but it was never the case. It was always a a sausage party and once in High School or in College did I ever see a woman get the highest score in a math or science class. It was usually me or some other dude.
Sorry, but I can't let some liberal brainwashing propaganda take place of REALITY. Women are not equal to men in anything, not even cooking, but you go go ahead, Baritus, and tell yourself that and when you get married get bossed around by your equally stupid and very inferior wife.
Good job cherry picking one statistic out of an article that uses statistics to counter-argue your dark age view of the sexes. Did you even bother to read the entire article and check some of the sources?
Since you like cherry picking statistics, here is a quote from the article:
Looking at the BLS numbers, it is interesting that these professions attract more women (as a percentage) than software engineers (20.2%):
Bailiffs, correctional officers, jailers (26.9%)
Chief executives (25.0%)
Database administrators (35.3%)
Biological scientists (45.1%)
Chemists and materials scientists (30.0%)
Technical writers (50.4%)
Even the professions that are said to have a glass ceiling (such as CEO) have more women in them than software development. Based on the number of science positions listed in the BLS data with substantial numbers of women in them, it is clear that the myth that women are afraid of math or science is just plain wrong (even if less than 1% of mathematicians are women). And given the bizarre outlier of DBAs at 35.3%, and technical writers at 50.4%, we can see that women certainly do not dislike computing fields in general.
Database administrators, biological scientists, chemists, materials scientists and technical writers do not require logical thinking skills?
Next time try reading the entire article. Most likely it appears that cultural differences are the reason there are not more women in the computer science field.
Anyway, kind of a strange subject for the DGC thread. Vlad, keep digging that hole and alienating developers, you will go far with that strategy.
