“ Go out and talk to freshmen and sophomore women about why they should pursue a career in tech.”

I think it starts here. There is a bit of a pernicious cycle going on here.

Tell females to go into STEM/Tech…but then, usually in the same breath, tell them that the field is full of sexism. Why would they want to go into a field full of sexism?
So instead they go into Biology (still STEM but higher percentage of women) because there are more women so it’s not “sexist.”

Year’s later when the number of women in Tech is even lower…people claim it’s due to “sexism” and then wonder why more women are not going into Tech?
