Self-identification just makes lying easier, the He/Him tags once inside were intentional. “Men don’t get that chance,” he says.
What’s the ratio of men to women in the tech industry? I asked the ChatGPT on BIng:
According to a report by Deloitte, the men to women ratio in technical roles is 4:1. Men hold 75% of technical jobs while women make up just one-quarter of them. Technical roles involve those in computer science, programming, data science, or software engineering 1.
The U.S. Census Bureau reports that women made gains in STEM occupations, from 8% of STEM workers in 1970 to 27% in 2019. However, men still dominate the field, making up 73% of all STEM workers 2.
Preaching to the choir, but the men who say they don’t get the same oppos as women due to these conferences are whiny victims with no historical context of why they are held. Women have to scratch and claw their way up cliffs to get tech jobs, but when a guy sees them get a hand up they wonder why they don’t get one, too?
Hmm, I would posit that that ratio of four to one is possibly too low. I am in one of the aforementioned fields and I’ve never seen better than about 10:1 as a ratio of men to women here. Admittedly, my subjective experience is not definitive, but the pattern has held fairly steady over the last 20 years or so, across several jobs. At my current firm, there is one woman in my research group of 15 scientists and engineers.
I guess we can check large-scale temporary opportunistic self-identification off the list of things that will never happen.

Cheaters everywhere.
