| I'm having the hardest time following the flow of your statements, which are riddled with assumptions that I, at their base, don't agree with. > A significant portion of software engineers, never even had a scientific education I'm not sure that I follow. What is it that you consider a "scientific education"? where do you get your significant figure from? >... no offence, you just pulled that out of your ass. I was not stating any statistical evidence, just a belief I have that if you cast a particular field in a negative light, claiming that a majority of people in those fields are poor communicators, that anyone might avoid that field, which I would imagine includes women, so perhaps I should have abstracted away a bit. > i personally had to witness the culture clash... I don't discount that cultural or familial background does not play a role in where a person ends up in his or her career, nor did I claim that work/study environment cannot play a factor. But stereotypes, both positive and negative, can have an impact on anyone's perspective on any field. As to your Dilbert comment, I'm assuming you're trying to be funny or use some sort of straw-man to discredit my statement? Good job, you did it. <edit: missing some carriage returns> |
