How on earth did this get published... Here's my main question, as stated by Marco Rogers: "This is what I don't understand about these white dudes. They will admit to a history of racial and gender discrimination. Yet they insist on starting current arguments from the basis that the representation we see today is justified. How does that make sense?" https://twitter.com/polotek/status/894551256596832256

This was a cover article in the Atlantic: "Why Is Silicon Valley So Awful to Women?" https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2017/04/why-is-... Discussion https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13871915
Gender disparity is extra high in computer science and engineering subjects. http://d3i6fh83elv35t.cloudfront.net/newshour/wp-content/upl... We know there were historically more women http://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/computer-programmin... so it's not like you can argue that it's just momentum, let alone genetics. The article is factually wrong from top to bottom.
