check out the URL (fashion? not science?). also, this report is completely different than what my personal experience has been. the problem here isn't the tech industry - it's the nytimes. - ƃuɐʞ
"The ideal worker in this realm is “the hacker who goes into his cubicle and doesn’t emerge for a week, having not showered or eaten anything but pizza. Those people exist and they are seen as heroes.” " -- sounds like the author believes that people that get so absorbed by their work are clearly Evil, and it is unfair to have the poor women compete with them for the same jobs - ana
just because you haven't experienced it doesn't mean it doesn't exist... - Neha Narula
I'm not sure why not showering and eating only pizza would be considered "predatory and demeaning and discriminatory" -- it just sounds like a bad idea. (Why is it ok to bring up the most insulting stereotypes of male tech workers though?) It would have been nice to have seen a few more concrete examples. - Jim Norris
=all 4 of you. I'm baffled every time I see this article written. Perhaps because I spend so much of my life surrounded by successful women working in science and technology. Perhaps because I've found actual locker-room conversation much tamer among technologists and scientists than among others. But yeah, the real problems with this article are the offensive stereotyping of men, and the fact that it works much harder than reality would to scare women away from technology careers. - j1m
