One of the latest slate star codex article (http://slatestarcodex.com/2017/08/07/contra-grant-on-exagger... ) mentions how there is still gender disparity in medical specialties. Do you have any statistics about this in law?

Maybe to have more women in tech you'd have to devise tech specialties which are more about humans and less about negotiating with machines.




Not really. I can tell you as a woman in tech, one of the things I love most about my job is interacting with machines. Machines are simple, people are complex. Plenty of women spend their whole day on a computer at work with only minimal more interaction with people, if any, than a programmer. It's not for everyone but there is no need to adjust the job at all for women.


If people want more than 20% women in tech the job may have to be ajusted.
