Men Overran a Job Fair for Women in Tech
The Grace Hopper Celebration is meant to unite women in tech. This year droves of men came looking for jobs.
"She's Out of Your League"
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

The article says that it was an event for women and “non-binary” people. Non-binary literally means that you can be whatever the fvck you want…whenever you want. I hope someone files a human rights complaint against those bigoted binary feminists trying to keep non-binary folks from getting jobs.

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

I have never groped a woman that I wasn't in a relationship with or didn't pay for.

The reason why more women aren't in tech is because most women are not interested in it.
Same reason more men aren't secretaries/administrative assistants or nurses.
That's the problem with trying to assume all jobs should be 50/50 men/women. It doesn't take into account thr nature of the job which inherently is going to lean, sometimes very strongly, towards one gender or the other and has NOTHING to do with discrimination or not hiring men/women into it.
There simply aren't many men/women interested in those jobs that lean towards the other gender. It's common sense but people don't want to accept that answer even tho it is the truth and want to go looking for something else.
