Why so much maschilism inside I.T?

Post Reply New Topic

As many women I had pretend a lot to be a male for this, they take as granted I'm male for no reason.
Just watch Stallman.
Why?
I had read about maschilism inside Anonymous and hacker community too.

Not sure, but some blond ladies are very good teachers, I was never inclined, esp. not as English teacher, still can't believe I taught our sons to talk when my mom-in-law has such pretentious English.
I suppose most jobs are monkey see, monkey taught so we add people struggle holding down jobs or else we'd be appreciated entrepreneurs.

Some jobs are designed for women, some jobs I don't think are for everyone (require certain skill level aside from brunette) I could never be a hairdresser either, not a book keeper....I don't like sales or many female social skills required.

Of course I wasn't welcomed to IT, I had to fight to keep my job, but so many men who are also not really entitled to be technicians, but society is yet to learn that

It is a now a high paying job.

The movie Hidden Figures shows that it was originally women's work, as they made the transition from human calculators to computers. Or even earlier with the ENIAC.

During World War II, while the U.S. Army needed to compute ballistics trajectories, many women were interviewed for this task. At least 200 women were hired by the Moore School of Engineering to work as "computers"[23] and six of them were chosen to be the programmers of ENIAC. Betty Holberton, Kay McNulty, Marlyn Wescoff, Ruth Lichterman, Betty Jean Jennings, and Fran Bilas, programmed the ENIAC to perform calculations for ballistics trajectories electronically for the Army's Ballistic Research Laboratory.[46] While men having the same education and experience were designated as "professionals", these women were unreasonably designated as "subprofessionals", though they had professional degrees in mathematics, and were highly trained mathematicians.[46]from Wikipedia
