Google's new attempt at stopping "loveism" activities. This time its code.

[Gsterman]

wait hold on, so this is created by the same people who did the bossy movement? i don't see the connection

No Google supported the whole bossy thing.

this is stupid

what does adding "w/ code" to everything do?

What about men? What if a dude wanted to get involved with this?

This reminds me of the campaign to ban the word "handicap" at our middle school. They gave you a pin if you pledged not to say it. It backfired on them, and kids would intentionally say handicap in front of the teachers who supported the pledge.  

Wow do we must've went to the same one, cause we had the same thing and everyone did the same thing.

You guys are missing the point. Women are vastly underrepresented in the sciences, and probably even less so in computer science. Most men who are interested in the sciences or programming or engineering are able to go into it without it being weird or unusual, but that's not necessarily the same thing for women. There is probably a workforce of literally thousands of women who would like to do science related jobs but aren't really given enough attention or opportunities because the general consensus is that women are less interested or less talented at STEM careers.

I guess my point is that men don't really need Google to make a campaign to get them hyped for STEM careers because they're already given more opportunities to pursue a STEM career than women are.

I wouldn't really equate this to #BanBossy because #BanBossy is just trying to solve something that most people would agree is a complete non-issue. But getting more women to go into more STEM-related careers would make the internet/technology/medicine/whatever that much better, and I don't think that's something worth complaining about.

[The Magical Dunes]

-obviously stupid!!!-

but how will I, a talentless hack, break into the industry if a wimmin is stealing my job!?! #back2thekitchen

do you even know what you just did?
you just tried to rebuke him saying there's an under representation, and named a single human being in an entire field.

i'm trying to point out that they aren't, or at least, "Vastly", is too much

Okay, name five other famous female scientists without using Google.

We don't need menstruation and reality show gossip in our code.
Can't they just be secretaries if they wanna use computers. They will just organize Facebook picture folders anyways.

[*FacePalm*]

im damn confused about the link but like
out of all the derogatory terms to shut down..... bossy?
it's not even directly gendered as most people have said here and, well, if you wanna stop loveism there's many other fronts that the word bossy. forgetin christo

[Bisjac]

It's not equality if they need extra support to catch up.
They have to want it bad enough to do it.

[blueblur121]

What the forget.
