The plight of the Kagatob

[Raev]

Well Grader, how about you form a new tech startup and hire all of these women? Logic suggests that if you pay them a male wage, you'll get all of the best female programmers on the planet and destroy your competition. Then you can retire to a tropical island and sit on a beach drinking those fruity unbrella things.

Not a bad plan. But if we pay them a male wage, how long until they're growing dongs for themselves and wiping us out for good?

I'll have to think about this.

We don't need to start growing dongs to wipe men out once and for all. So many of you have apparently grown your own vaginas that you're actually doing the work for us.

Nobody who defends the significance of the gender gap will ever answer this, because they can't. They'll come up with snarky replies or shift the conversation.

Nobody who defends the significance of the gender gap will ever answer the very serious question about why we don't just start our own company and hire all the girls if we think they're so good?

Did you mean answer the question? or dignify it with a response?

It's like I'm some kind of god damned psychic.

So you are campaigning for STEM fields, good. Would you like to campaign for more women to join manufacturing/construction/utility/trucking jobs while you are at it? Those pay very well and there are hardly any women in them either.

Absolutely! Why wouldn't i be? Those sectors are all highly stigmatised, i'd suspect, because of an assumption that most women aren't 'tough enough' to handle them. He brought up my theoretical tech startup so that's what we went with.

What's your point though?

Women don't apply for those jobs.

Believe it or not there are fields that women simply aren't typically interested in. Why is this such a difficult concept to grasp?
