not trying to discount this or my perceived intent of it, but i was wondering if any women could share specific examples when they were being mentored/coached differently than men. i understand that every individual, man or woman, responds to better to different communication styles.

i'm asking because i specifically want to know what unintended biases/habits I may have that i didn't realize.

thanks!

Do you know any women in tech at all?

They would be the people to ask.

Except something I read recently said you should not do that either unless they somehow give signs that is something they are interested in. At this point I have just given up. I did ask a woman colleague about this a while ago before I was admonished (via random blog post) and she said she didn't really see the need to tell other women to pursue CS as a profession because those that were interested would gravitate to it like she had. She worries about people doing things just because they pay well or are seen as trendy. Not sure I agree with her viewpoint but there you go...

Do a web search for unconscious bias.

Google has been doing a bunch of research on this lately.
