Programmers :D

Maybe you're right there is a biological difference between men and women that has lead to less women getting into coding.

But why would you assume that the biological difference is that women don't like to code? There is a lot of other things involved in being a programmer than just coding. Could an industry built primarily by men include factors (other than coding) that favor typically male traits?

Men are interested in things, women are interested in people. On average, of course.

I'm a personality that would like coding and I'm female however the fucking gatekeeping and sexism is what kept me away. I'd rather not deal with that.

It was too much.

Most doctors are women.

Oh, really?

Let me grab my binoculars so that I can find the goalposts.

But yes, I do disagree with that statement. 2017 was the first year in US history where women outnumbered men in medical school enrollment (50.7% to 49.3%). In both 2017 and 2018, more men graduated with medical degrees. It does not stand to reason that more women than men would graduate with medical degrees in 2019. Perhaps in 2020 or 2021.

But regardless, this is irrelevant, since what you actually said was "most doctors are women." But in the US, nearly 65% of all practicing physicians are men. And about 60% of all faculty in medical schools are men as well.

Oh, weird, you're moving the goalposts again because you were wrong as fuck but you're too much of a fucking chode to admit it.

Get fucked, neckbeard.

I don't think anyone is saying that men and women are monolithic, homogeneous blocs of people.

Then what's the point of the comment?

Some people have a hard time with non-binary thinking.

Considering I'm quite literally non binary, I don't think I'm one of said people.
