> now that the tables have turned, women might need to make a compromise

Most of us here on HN work in the tech industry, with its notorious sexism and underrepresentation problems. So let's get real here.

To claim that the tables have turned reeks of the same claim to victimhood that the straight white christian men that voted for Trump use to justify their crap.

You claim you don't want to right the "whole mensright bandwagon", but you're already on it.

The tables aren't even close to having been turned, the disappearance of many jobs that men continued to claim for themselves until they stopped existing is just a coincidence.

I'm in the US. Women have every incentive to get a STEM degree, given the fact that nearly every major tech company has an affirmative action hiring process. But guess what? Women are choosing to get other degrees. It's not sexist to have some differences between the sexes as long as there's an equal opportunity.
