I dont understand this more women and colored folk in stem. Why? theres nothing holding them back. If loads of women and brown people wanted to go into stem then they could. However, it seems that stem appeals more to white and asian males. wow thats crazy different people like different things.

shouldn't all this be based on performance and not things like sex or color? if males perform better at stem then thats just how it is. lowering/changing standards to inflate the stem population makes no sense

Yes, but you have two sides of the argument:

1. All women and niggers are bad because I say so. Here look at these statistics that are definite proof of my argument, please ignore that correlation is not causation.
2. All Women and niggers have been treated like shit for centuries so now we need to treat whites and men the same way. I don't need cherry picked statistics because I have my FEELINGS.


Both sides of this argument are unbelievably cancerous, and they equally contribute to society going to shit.

Gentrification is the process by which rich people buy up houses in shitty neighborhoods and make things more expensive.

Blacks just don't know how to save money, so they scream "gentrification" with the help of hippies and hipsters.

From my experience, a lot of the women I've talked to don't like being treated differently. All this stupid diversity bullshit isn't helping at all and is actually driving women away from Software jobs. All this affirmative action stuff also puts a lot of men into the mindset that women working the same job as them didnt "earn" the job which us bullshit. I've seen this cause some tension between male and female workers. There's also a lot micro-sexism in software jobs. The Netflix show "Master of None" did a great job of showing an example of this.

TLDR: stop giving them special treatment you doofus
>>
>>51740972
But the first part is actually valid. Correlation is not causation, yes, but the two often intertwine.

You are literally denying statistics math right now, and I suggest you back off that statement without making a fool out of yourself.

If N-(N/0.75) in N number of people X does action Z, and N-(N/0.25) in N of people Y does action Z, it is therefore safe to assume there is 50% more chance of people Y commiting action Z.

That's no fallacy, that's math.

You simply don't understand modern social justice. Modern social justice is not about providing people with an equal playing field. It instead considers an even playing field a very bad thing because it knows that even an equal playing field will not produce the results they want.

You see what they actually want is for women and people who aren't white or asian to be ether equally represented or more than equally represented. To them it's not the means that matter, to them it's the ends that matter. They don't believe in fair methods of evaluation if they produce what they see as the right results. To them no method is wrong as long as it produces the results that they want.

Usually these methods include hiring quotas based on race or gender and generally just lowering the bar for the groups they think should be better represented.

>How to get more women into tech?

That is in fact very simple.

Pfft I already knew that. Us Ethios boast on and on about that shit.

I guess every other one does too. Except when we say it, it's right.

>That's hardly in any way meaningful to average american blacks which descend from west African slaves. I guess you can keep preaching as you do thou

What do you mean?

>most Americans can't tell the difference anyhow

You'd imagine that they would right? But in my experience with Americans (especially white ones), most of them know if I'm Ethio or not.

Probably because I have a huge forehead and tired ass looking eyes like every other Ethio.

Or they've had other experiences with other Ethios and know how non-nigger they are compared to """"african"""" Americans from West Africa.

But what really gets me is how we call blacks that live in America "African Americans".

I know they have ancestors from Africa and all, but does that really make them African?

They act, talk, and think MUCH differently than actual Africans.

Whites in America descend from Europe, but we don't called them European-Americans do we?
>>
Why does it matter?

Why isn't there a similar, well funded movement to get more men into nursing?
>>
>>51741931
I would say promoting fitness in STEM majors would work (simply put, unfit bodies are never aesthetic), but unfortunately the Fat States of Fatmerica are so fat people are starting to embrace fatness and feminists would cry about fat shaming and fitness obsession and HAES and this fitness promotion triggers me and blah blah blah.

>>51742266
>Whites in America descend from Europe, but we don't called them European-Americans do we?
That's actually how white supremacists call themselves, "European American pride activists".
>>
>>51742272
Nursing isn't even that shit tier
>>51742334
Most of them act like them and speak their languages.

Afri-Ameris don't even know 3 countries in Africa.

Meaning if I were to call whites in America "European-Americans", I wouldn't be that wrong because they do act and think like Euros.

Not only that, but they also indulge in their culture a lot.

I mean, where have you seen a African America festival for Ethiopian music (excluding Ethiopian concerts hosted by other Ethios).
>>
>>51742266
> Really now? Never knew that.
Yup. Technically speaking, you're black but not a nigger:
> Wilson et al. (2001), an autosomal DNA study based on cluster analysis that looked at a combined sample ofAmharaandOromoexamining asingleenzyme variants:drug metabolizing enzyme(DME) loci, found that 62% of Ethiopeans fall into the same cluster ofAshkenazi Jews,NorwegiansandArmeniansbased on that gene. Only 24% of Ethiopians cluster withBantusand Afro-Caribbeans, 8% withPapua New Guineans, and 6% withChinese.[12]

Do long as you're not mix with caribbean or sub saharans, chances are you're mixed with caucasoid genes and it makes up most of your gene pool. I suggest you research into the matter, it's interesting stuff.

Americans can't even tell the difference between an Irish and an Italian. America divides shit very simply to white and black, with asians floating around too. And they are forcing that backward mentality on other nations aswell.

Don't get lumped into groups you don't necessarily belong to. That's just detrimental in the long run to your identity and theirs .
>>
>>51742456
>nursing isn't that shit tier

Who said it was? So yeah, why isn't there a movement to get men into nursing? Shouldn't 'equality' be pursued in all fields, not just the tech industry?

>>51742779
No I was I agreeing with you anon. Fuck my English. I meant: Nursing isn't even that shit tier. My mom was a nurse.

Hell yeah it should. People nowadays look down on blue collar jobs.

Some women just want to shoot for the jobs with bank pay without trying to do the hard work.

When they see how hard it really is, they bail, then complain how it was "patriarchal".
see
>>51741581

>>51742568
I'll be sure to look into it. Now that I think of it, a lot of Ethios are great at school.

Maybe we get it from that?

>Do long as you're not mix with caribbean or sub saharans, chances are you're mixed with caucasoid genes and it makes up most of your gene pool.

I don't even like other black women to be honest. Not even other Ethios.

There is one black girl in mind because she so based and all, but that's another story.

Statistically speaking men are pretty much doing everything better than women so I'm not really sure why you would want them doing important things. Granted not women are the same and some are in fact genius ,but the ratio is same as decent black people and shitty black people.

Anyone remember how in 2008-2011 time frame, atheism was THE topic of discussion around the internet? It was all atheists all the time. A lot of that died down because the hardcore atheists got associated with fedora wearing neckbeards. Suddenly, everyone started calling themselves "non-religious" so as not to associate themselves with the fedora wearers.

The same tactic can be used to get women in tech. Anyone who opposes it is a virgin neckbeard who wears a fedora and must be a closet homosexual if they hate women so much. Describe anyone who makes jokes about women as edgelords. Create memes with 13 year old boys on Xbox Live crying about a girl joining the game. When it comes to Github, anyone who protests the code of conduct or vocabulary changes needs their profiles scrutinized. One should add comments suggesting that they are only focusing on such trivial change requests because they're too incompetent. Real programmers would be more worried about the guts of the code to worry about trivial changes. Point out that gender neutral language is more technically accurate. The anti-trans crowd always likes to talk about chromosomes and acts all high and mighty about their "technical accuracy". Point out how gender neutral language is simply more technically accurate since not all users and developers are guaranteed to be male.

Feminists have done a great job getting the media on their side, but a very poor job of getting the tech community at large on their side. It needs to be less about treating women like victims and men like monsters. Instead, they need to focus on creating an image where anti-feminists are frustrated virgins in trench coats and fedoras. An upstanding, successful male supports more women in tech. They can even turn the misogyny on its head and use the "hey, I could use more babes at work" type of argument and anyone who disagrees is a faggot.

There's a female programmer at my company. One day this new hire who was some MRA type went to her desk and said: "Hey little girl, why don't you go make us a sandwich and leave the programming to us men?" He talked other kinds of shit too, and a crowd gathered around them. She just smirked, said "watch this" and pulled out a second keyboard. She started typing on both of them at the same time, so fast that we could barely keep up. She wrote an operating system in Assembly in just five minutes and it booted on the first try. We were all stunned into silence, except for the new guy who got mad and said: "Time to teach you a lesson, bitch!" and lunged at her. She casually unleashed a deadly barrage of martial arts attacks, instantly severing his spine (keep in mind this guy was built like an NFL quarterback). The whole office broke into applause. He was pronounced dead at the scene by paramedics, and our CEO announced she would become his successor effective immediately, before castrating himself and jumping off the roof with a smile on his face. The whole office broke into applause. She said: "If any of you boys want to learn some coding, my door is always open," tipped her fedora, turned around 360 degrees and walked away. I was so impressed and so in awe that when I got home I told my girlfriend that we're buying a strap-on.

Some things to note about this.

More women than men get degrees. It's something like 4 degrees to men for every 5 degrees to women.

30% of computer science majors are women. However, this is measured as a proportion of each gender in the introductory class. Over half of CS majors will switch to a different major at some point in their education. This means that proportionally, more women drop CS than men do.

Women study easier topics by far. The higher the average grade of a major the higher the proportion of women in said major. This makes women seem more intelligent until it is noted that the most difficult majors in terms of average GPA are STEM fields and the easiest majors in terms of GPA are social studies like sociology and gender studies.

To address the OP, there is nothing to be done. Women have the momentum when it comes to getting "into" "tech". All fields will be dominated by women in the near- to mid-term future. This is because women are earning the almost vast majority of degrees. This is in principle because women are, in some manner, [trigger warning] privileged.
