Study finds women don't enter stem not because men have a bias against them but because women have a bias against the people who work in STEM, citing them as geeks.

For one, programming is an incredibly degrading job that offers 0 job security and is the vocation most plagued by ageism by a far margin. You are not respected at any normal company. Every day, some Alpha who probably does nothing at his job except get his secretary to suck his dick in his corner office cucks you into doing random bitch work, and then yells at you when it's not done by the deadline despite it being impossible to complete the work requested. Not only that, the code rarely works, your co-workers are Indians brought in by Tata Consultancy who will replace you for half the salary and you have to train them to get your $500 severence, and the work never, ever ends. You pollute your body with the caffeinenated jew, deprive it of sleep, and let it rot while you sit the majority of the day, neglecting any healthy exercise, social interaction or life goal attainment.

It's like a postal worker, but coupled with feelings of loneliness, helplessness and total hopelessness. Programmers are too depressed to go postal, a sad state of affairs. After dentists, programmers have the highest rates of mental disorders, especially depression and suicide.

It gets worse. Women, when they hear you are a programmer, instantly reject you. It is far better to tell a woman you are on welfare than to out yourself as a computer programmer. It's highly embarrassing for a woman to associate with a programmer, as everyone knows they are the grown up version of the hopeless virgin in high school. One who never really grew up and became normal and fit into society, but rather found an environment where he could escape the reality of his situation and be invisible, able to hide the toxic shame and utter humiliation that is the programmer.

Programming's father, Alan Turing, killed himself with cyanide because he was a programmer. Programmers, why haven't you taken the cyanide pill and quit programming and turned to a respectable and productive profession to better society?

The interesting thing that I got from the article is that women's opinions are more swayed by media than men's.

>However, women who had taken at least one computer science class were less likely to mention a stereotypical characteristic. There was no difference in men’s descriptions, whether or not they had taken a computer science class.

>In a second study, researchers asked male and female participants to read fabricated newspaper articles...Men were unaffected by how computer science majors were represented, but women who read the article with non-stereotypical images were significantly more interested in majoring in computer science than women who read the article with gendered stereotypes.

Bitches be believing gossip without seeking the actual truth. Men are stubborn and won't change their opinions even if evidence is presented. I see the potential for a more interesting study here.

There aren't any real stereotypes about which degree you are studying in England. Everyone is generally invited to things and accepted into groups by merit of living in the same area/halls despite being virgins or a bit autistic.

it seems to me that school culture in the states lingers for 2-3 years longer than in England. I mean, for fucks sake, if someone was getting bullied in what you would call "high school" it would be surreal and absurd. And yes, I went to a le state comprehensive with non-whites (myself included)

oh yeah, the way you overcome issues with health / social interaction is just get up and walk around during the day and talk to coworkers. most big companies employ many female programmers and you'll at least be able to have a conversation with them (not always true about the men). if your boss complains you don't give a fuck cause finding another entry level programming level is a fucking joke, and you could easily raise a family to middle class standards without getting a single pay raise above inflation for the rest of your career.

i also dont drink coffee cause it's unhealthy. if you think you need it just look above and realize that it doesn't matter if your boss gets butthurt that you're not programming fast enough lol. programmers have such shitty times because they're too dumb to realize that they have leverage that mbas/accounting majors/whoever would murder for and treat themselves like shit. literally all you have to do in this profession is not get psyched out.

>missing the point this hard

The point is that popular portrayal plays a huge part in what careers women choose.

Women are told by sitcoms, magazines and social media that CS is for dorks. Shows like TBBT portray scientists as ugly, unsociable, and asexual. Women do not want to be this or be around it. But this portrayal is cliched and stereotypical.

The point is that media which claims to be helping is hurting more than anything. The PR guys for TBBT will claim that they are popularizing science, when in fact they're damaging it's portrayal

The same can be said for the countless books, news segments, blogs etc. that are endlessly telling women how oppressed they will be in a tech job. All this "lean in" bullshit just makes a business/scientific career seem exhausting, unnatural, and unrewarding for a woman. Two days ago I was in an airport where CNN was blasting on TV's and some bimbo who "did an internship in Silicon Valley" said "My best advice for girls is change your name, because if men in Silicon Valley see a woman's name on an email, they ignore it." And then the two women talking went on to say how they want to promote women in STEM and want things to change, as if this doom and gloom bullshit is helping. It's a massive conflict of interest, b/c the people who claim to be helping this issue by highlighting it are the ones who profit off of it's existence

Basically, the best advice for incorporating women into tech jobs is just to not make a big deal about it. Stop all this "YOU'RE A WOMAN WE NEED YOU" bullshit. Stop all the congratulating and pointing it out. Fire sexism when you see it, but otherwise just get to work and be encouraging and decent to everyone. Why would a woman want to join a profession if every bit of society is telling them simultaneously that they represent all women and have to succeed or they are a shame to their gender, that they will have a terrible time, and that they will become and be with unfuckable losers.

Yeah look at all those programmable calculator-toting virgin nerds. They just want to become engineers and make some cool shit so they spend their time studying and applying themselves. I bet they learned to program when they were adolescents lmao they should have been kissing girls instead. What do you mean these manchildren were interested in toys and not on women? Don't they know what the purpose of life is? Who wants to be around those losers?

Better turn the school into fashion week popularity contest full of hot women who give approximately zero fucks about computers and building things and are guaranteed to be entering the field for the money. First step is getting rid of the productive "geeks" who actually had some kind of chance of graduating and having a successful career. These sluts don't want to join a course with people they don't want to fuck so they got to go. Next is dumbing down the entire course material so that the sluts can pass without putting in any effort because let's not kid ourselves here. The student loan scam has been partially taking care of that so we've got just the right excuses to do this. Then when all those women graduate with an average grade of A- they will go on to become totally millionaires and contribute meaningfully to society! Right?

To be quite honest, if women love you for what you have and not for what you are, you should just end it. Because you know that 9/10 times you see those ugly millionaires with Trophy wives you know there is a poorer Chad hitting that from behind every time the hubby goes to a business meeting.
