Because it isn't true. It is him inventing a cause of a problem by simply ignoring many, many womens' experiences with discrimination in STEM that starts at a young age, which is extensively documented. This is what privilege looks like: "I never experienced it so it doesn't exist."

What isn't true? Do you believe that girls are equally interested in computers compared to boys at 13 years old?

Dude, you're missing the point. Women are actively chased out of tech. This has been going on for decades. Don't you remember a few years ago when half of the guys of 4chan doxxed and threatened to kill dozens of female gamers because those women dared to ask if games could treat women a little more fairly? I mean, its not like this is ancient history.

Can't you take some responsibility and educate yourself rather than asking me to educate you? I'm sure you taught yourself how to program by researching online, why can't you do the same thing to understand how shitty girls and women are treated in tech domains? Unless you just don't care? I don't get it. smh.

No no they aren't; there is an enormous political, academic and corporate movement to get and keep them and they certainly haven't dealt with anywhere near the general BS any nerd deals with growing up or being in tech; 90% of the time it's just complaints identical to yours; - Complete fabrications to appear a victim. - Complaints about things that everyone else deals with but due to equality feeling like oppression, suddenly the treatment equal to others feels oppressive. - Complaints about consequence for doing shitty things.

Re your point about 4chan; provide the story or it's just another fabrication

So he's sexist because you disagree with his argument?

It's not an argument. It's an assumption.
