In Response To Anti-diversity Memo, YouTube CEO Says Sexism in Tech is 'Pervasive' (theverge.com)
An anonymous reader writes: YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki has responded to the Google anti-diversity memo, writing in a column for Fortune that the questioning of women's abilities is "pervasive" in tech and that the memo is "yet another discouraging signal to young women who aspire to study computer science." Wojcicki opens by saying her daughter asked her, "Is it true that there are biological reasons why there are fewer women in tech and leadership?" Wojcicki says no, it's not true, but the question has still plagued her throughout her career. "I've had meetings with external leaders where they primarily addressed the more junior male colleagues. I've had my comments frequently interrupted and my ideas ignored until they were rephrased by men. No matter how often this all happened, it still hurt," she wrote. In the meanwhile, The Guardian reported on Wednesday that more than 60 current and former Google women employees are considering suing Google on the grounds of sexism and a pay gap.
mansplaining is nothing but a term sexists use to stifle discussion. please stop being a sexist
Weaksauce. Pretending to be the victim is both an obvious ploy and poor form. If you want to be taken seriously, don't resort to cheap tricks.
People who say "sheeple" have about as much sophistication as an AOL user, and in fact are probably actually AOL users.
No, the "soft" stuff that SJWs "study" are things like "Race Relations", "Women in *INSERT HERE".
Actual, classical Psych and Sociology curricula would be too triggering to them. Because they'd see how mentally ill they actually are.
