Metal_DK 08/23/17 9:00:41 AM #73:	Theres a lot of money in tech in the USA, and men chase money more than women do, and for a longer period of time. Fun fact, Iran graduates more women in stem than men now. India graduates plenty of people (including women!) in stem. Those places also pay their programmers significantly less for work than the USA does, even with respect to cost of living differences. Its shown that women in the USA who go into tech now tend to be from lower income backgrounds. Women coming from higher socio economic backgrounds tend to go into liberal arts type stuff. Men of all socioeconomic backgrounds are willing (at least more willing, there is a shortage of stem in the USA period, not just women honestly) to go into tech. Its not really so much that "women's brains can't do the work", the work isn't that complex that the differences between mens and womens brains is the factor (there are some differences between most mens and womens brains fwiw, not necessarily one being better than the other). Its moreso that coding in western countries (where it pays a lot) is a bigger path to a positive male identity. Fun fact, most women like men who earn good money. And it has nothing to do with "once women have the good jobs theyll marry gas station employees!" crap that 2nd wave feminists argue. Most women who have MBAs making 70 to 100k want to marry men of at least similar status. Also, childless millennial women outearn childless millennial men fwiw, and the same thing happened when Gen X were in their 20s/30s. The 77 cents stat is extremely misguided. I just think people need to realize that men pretty much its either work or prison. Women get work, prison, or stay at home wife/mother in the current economic climate of sitting in offices. It doesn't mean they shouldnt be allowed in tech, or president, or whatever. But people just need to realize that a career is more important to a man's mental health than it is to a woman's, as we get fewer options. https://www.forbes.com/sites/amyguttman/2015/12/09/set-to-take-over-tech-70-of-irans-science-and-engineering-students-are-women/#7098320c44de https://www.forbes.com/sites/realspin/2014/02/24/childless-women-in-their-twenties-out-earn-men-so/#1b2bf11ba82c --- Casual Revolution 2007 - 2016 <cite>Metal_DK posted [p:885295425] in POLL: What...
