An educational website featuring a collection of innovations by women in the fields of computer science and technology.

This is nice. I didn’t know about these women, other than Grace Hopper.

Why are women so underrepresented in tech?

      It’s weird how despite how true this statement is, so many guys will angrily refute it.

          Source? Nursing is the main example I can think of. As jobs in general got shitty, nursing appeared to be a seemingly less shitty career with decent pay/benefits, which is why tons of men are trying to get into it now.

              No doubt it’s a very stressful job, but my point is that a nurse generally has better job security than most jobs. In today’s age, that’s a massively important factor when so many employers treat employees like they’re disposable. It’s also not exactly a job that can be outsourced nor automated, two factors that I think men have overlooked in the past when the odds of getting a decent paying job in other “more manly” (big eye roll) sectors were more common.
