2) It is a reasonable (though untested) hypothesis that the behavior associated with "technical entitlement" exacerbates the problem. Therefore this is an issue that needs to be considered
3) Telling teenagers on either side to change isn't going to fix the issue. You suggest that women in tech change, TFA suggests that men in tech change. Neither is useful.
2) I still don't even know what the hell "technical entitlement" is? I think you actually mean over-confidence. See 1.
3) I'm simply saying accept it. Moaning about it is like a man moaning about a woman turning up late to a date. Or even not at all. If you are capable of changing that bizarre female behaviour, you're welcome to fix this bizarre male behaviour too. This isn't about teenagers, this is about fundamental gender differences.
This isn't about fundamental gender differences, it is about a subculture's expression of dominance and cultural norms, and it is exactly the kind of thing that us older geeks should be imparting to younger geeks.
And many of other countries that I haven't met haven't even gone through female emancipation, I have no doubt the vast number of countries like that are far worse.
I just don't agree with you. And again, I've had to say it before this week, I'm not American and have never even been there. I've only met a couple of Americans in passing and they were all female or mormons. Mormons get a little special category of their own, those two were very strange.
2) I agree it's a shitty term, but it's from the article we are discussing, so I used it. Sure I'm happy talking about overconfidence
3) I choose not to accept a status-quo where there is clearly strong discouragement to a large fraction of the population from entering into a field in which we can use all the talent we can get. I'm not trying to "fix" either side here, as that is untenable. I'm trying to come up with an environment in which those differences don't cause the undesirable outcome we now have.
You might want to try it some time--it's not so bad!
