My classes were like 30:1 or worse male to female. Gender gap being close will always look like hiring bias to me...

How do your personal classes represent the labor supply? The fact is that most college students now are female.

Pretty accurately I would say. I studied technical computer science. 4.1% of use were women.

I lived in a shared apartment with 2 women and almost all their fellow students were women. Not computer science or anything technical of course.

To me the gap is closing because tech firms have more non-technical positions.

Close to 60% of college students are female. Why don't we see that as a problem?

Why is acceptable to deny young men equity in education?

Most of the inroads are attributed to flexible schedules which reduces the attrition from women after the entry level

alongside the role not being ruled out entirely by the candidate

this is something I hear from other women for other career choices too, from nursing to dancing to undiagnosed mental disorders (BPD, autism), the flexible scheduling draws them over 9-5 in person office work

for tech there are more pipelines than university and an entire decade has been spent addressing that already

whats happening is likely not just what you’re sensitive to

Well then, some enterprising corporation can pick up those forgotten young men for a song, and have a huge competitive advantage if that is really the case

Then they’ll get sued for disparate impact.

Would you apply the same logic if the male-female gender ratio here was say 80-20%, 95-5%, or 100-0%, or is it only applied selectively?
