In an industry whose sexist reputation is dramatized in court cases and parodied in situation comedies, women in tech say the obstacles they face are all too real: Half of those polled said they feel women have fewer opportunities for advancement at their current workplaces than men, and 43 percent said they are paid less. In contrast, fewer than one-third of Bay Area women outside of tech felt held back or underpaid because of their gender.

We all know that females date up, while men date down. The tech industry is sexist because women are always approached by guys that have a lower, similar, or slightly higher SMV. They want a fucking 10/10 Chad/Tyrone that's pulling in a 6 figure salary, close to 7. They complain to not get paid enough because they're comparing their fucking wages to the wages of a guy that has probably been working their for a long time. He's doing probably working on something that is more important than what she's doing. "I'm a female janitor in the white house, and I don't get paid as much as the president." You're a janitor, he's the fucking president. Of course you're going to get paid far fucking less than him.

Months after the #MeToo movement began to topple power brokers from Hollywood to Congress, the poll found that women in tech were far more likely than women elsewhere to say they had been subjected to unwelcome sexual advances or harassment at work, with more than 4 in 10 saying they had been harassed at their current jobs. Despite those experiences, women in tech, like two-thirds of all respondents, believe the national reckoning will bring lasting change.

Again, being told "Hi, how are ya?" by a guy that doesn't look like Tom Cruise IS NOT sexual harassment. But then again, I'm not a female so how should I know what does and doesn't constitute as sexual harassment? And for the #MeToo movement, yes, it will bring lasting change in the tech industry, by hiring less women. (Further reading: https://tinyurl.com/yaxm43vd)

Women remain so vastly outnumbered in this notoriously male-centric industry that writer Emily Chang called it a “Brotopia” in her new book about Silicon Valley. And the string of recent grievances relating to tech’s treatment of women runs from Susan Fowler’s viral account last year of the sexism and harassment she experienced as an engineer at Uber to the uproar over the case of fired Google engineer James Damore, who wrote a memo suggesting biological differences might partly explain the lack of women in tech.

I'm going to go out on a limb here on just the name of the book alone. "Brotopia" being nothing but a book about men being misogynists, catcalling female co-workers, sexually harassing females, and that more females need to be hired to overall reduce the toxicity of men in tech. And James Damore received backlash for dropping red pills, typical, shut down anyone that doesn't complies with the feminist/leftist/liberal agenda.

“Women leave the tech industry not necessarily because there wasn’t good maternity leave or flexible work schedules,” said Gwen K. Young, who directs the Global Women’s Leadership Initiative at the Wilson Center, a think tank based in Washington, D.C. “They say it’s the culture and the way men treat them.”

Please do provide further citation on how females are treated in tech. I wholeheartedly want to know how you're treated so that we can bring change to this toxic career field.

Alicia Lent, a 24-year-old engineer in the semiconductor industry, will never forget the day she went to teach a class in a sprawling factory and asked where the restroom was. “They said, ‘Oh yeah, the closest women’s bathroom is three stories down,’ because they converted the women’s bathroom to a men’s bathroom,” she said. “They said there’s not enough women to justify a women’s bathroom on every floor.”

If the female's restroom isn't used, then its not used, that is not their fault. Don't get so uppity just because you happen to be one of the few women working there and you believe you are entitled to have all your needs met.

Lent felt being a computer science major in college — where she was sometimes the only woman in the class — not only imparted technical know-how, she said, it helped her “bulk up” for the reality of the workforce, where today she is one of two women on a team of 12 people, a job she enjoys. When working in pairs in college, she said, “I felt like I had to do good or no one would trust a woman as a lab partner again.”

So more boys that are leaning to code should interact with more females that aren't interested in coding? She clearly doesn't understand men and their yearning for knowledge and improvement. They mainly want to be surrounded with like minded individuals to learn, grow, apply, and be successful. That is not their problem that they talked to airhead bimbos that want a good dicking.

Researchers say such experiences are typical in male-dominated departments and industries such as tech. The share of women earning undergraduate degrees in computer science fell dramatically after the 1980s and has since held steady at around 20 percent, a worrisome figure for those pushing for gender parity in the industry.

This female just proved to Lent why the men in her class felt that females don't make good lab partners. They haven't interacted with many females interested in tech.

Stanford and UC Berkeley have begun to reverse the trend on their campuses, in part by making introductory computer science courses accessible to those with no previous programming experience. John DeNero, an assistant teaching professor who helped develop the new courses at UC Berkeley, said he is encouraged by how easily the female graduates he knows are landing entry-level jobs in tech. ["]When they go out to look for work,["] he said, “They are highly sought after.”

"Introductory computer science courses accessible to those with no previous programming experience." Translation: we are going to empower females to encourage them to join tech. "[DeNero] is encouraged by how easily the female graduates he knows are landing entry-level jobs in tech. When they go out to look for work, they are highly sought after." Mediocre female programmers are highly sought after? They're just trying to comply with stupid quotas, nothing new.

But mid-career women often encounter stagnation, researchers say. A national study of female scientists and engineers led by UC Hastings law school professor Joan C. Williams suggested that bias pushed women out of the STEM workforce, with two-thirds of women saying they were required to prove themselves repeatedly and the same share having their commitment and competence questioned after having children. Nearly half of the black and Latina women in the study said they had been mistaken for administrative or custodial employees.

You're either a single mother or female with a career, you can't be both. If you have a child or a couple children, you have to prove yourself to the company that you're a loyal employee because your employers (that possibly have or had kids) know how much time and energy it takes to raise a kid. You can't be in a high paying position and be pregnant. Said high paying position your complete commitment, dedication, attention, and energy. If you keep failing to meet deadlines due to your child, you will end up getting replaced, and you will end up getting demoted. Quit your bitching and woman up. For the females that got confused for being administrative or custodial employees, there's an abundance of female administrative employees and an abundance of black and Latina female custodians. Don't get insulted that you and your fellow sisters just want to lay their like a log with your legs raised up as you stare into the ceiling daydreaming about fucking Chad the pool boy.

“I don’t think there’s companies right now that are going deliberately out of their way to make sure a girl doesn’t get the job strictly because she’s a girl,” said Rohit Basu, a 21-year-old economics major from Brentwood who is doing a data analytics internship at a local company this summer. “I think it comes down to the skills you have.”

Thank you. You're not entitled to a job solely on the basis of you being a female. If you don't have the proper skills, sorry but you're going to get passed up for a man that does have those skills.

Anthony Defreitas, a 33-year-old software engineer from San Mateo whose team of 20 includes five women, said he believes women at the places he has worked have been treated fairly. He said he hadn’t heard otherwise or witnessed overt discrimination. Still, he thinks companies like his might approach problem-solving differently with more women at the table.

Just because they're making themselves seem like NAWALTs, doesn't mean they won't end up doing the exact same shit.

“It’s not uncommon for there to be only one or two women in a room of about a dozen people,” Defreitas said. “I’ve thought at times, ‘If I were the only guy in this meeting, how would I feel?’ ”

I would be scared shitless to be honest, I don't want a female pulling out a machete, force me on my knees and peg me. I love crabs as much as the next guy but I don't want any crabs from her!

Gender equity experts say it is important for managers to listen to the experiences of women and other minority groups at work and to take a closer look at policies — such as job descriptions, performance reviews and task assignments — they might mistakenly assume to be objective.

"They might mistakenly assume to be objective." Translation: females and minorities should have an easier work load and receive participation trophies, even if they don't meet expectations, they need to be taken care of because they're children! Men are the one and only true beasts of burden!

The rest of the article is about the #MeToo movement, and how some females are optimistic that it will bring change to the tech industry. I hope they enjoy being jobless... isn't that what they're hoping for, right? Less females to be hired because they accuse men of false sexual harassment in the workforce? I can never understand females.
