“We are misguided to demand more women in tech when there simply isn’t an adequate supply of competent technological professionals to support gender parity. Women in tech begins with little girls playing with science- and math-related toys, and it takes much longer than just a few months or a few years to undo the sociological mores of a few millenia. [...]

Drop the pop feminism and have the guts to get to the core of the problem. We must stop treating girls as gender-crippled, pink-collar versions of ourselves and start treating them like the fascinated young minds that they are, minds that will grip onto whatever we bring them in their most formative stages.”

—Jolie O’Dell on Why We Don’t Need More Women In Tech… Yet.
