Microsoft Blames Layoffs For Drop In Female Employees (cio.com)
itwbennett writes: This year, women made up 26.8 percent of Microsoft's total workforce, down from 29 percent in 2014, the company reported Monday. In a blog post discussing the numbers, Gwen Houston, Microsoft's general manager of diversity and inclusion, pointed the finger at the thousands of layoffs the company made to restructure its phone hardware business: 'The workforce reductions resulting from the restructure of our phone hardware business ... impacted factory and production facilities outside the U.S. that produce handsets and hardware, and a higher percentage of those jobs were held by women,' she said.
If women want a STEM career they will get one. Clearly they don't want them.
This is so mind numbingly stupid, yet brought up in every debate on the subject, that I can't even be bothered to refute it any more.
Where is all of the outcry about males being less than 10% of the nursing field in the US?
Try ask the American Assembly for Men in Nursing, and look up Mississippi University for Women v. Hogan. Don't people know how to google any more?
