Male Panelists At A Women's Tech Conference Had Tone-Deaf Responses To Fixing Tech's Se... - 2 views

    So if you think that article about the Microsoft CEO saying women's shouldn't ask for raises was bad.... This article includes some of the "highlights" of the most terrible things said.

It is speculated that one of the reasons why there are so few Women in tech careers is because there is a false perception that Women in CS and Engineering and Mathematics will make less than men in the pursuit of one of those tech careers. This article sheds some light on the reality.
