Computer science and technology education is really a first world anomaly, so it's not surprising that not a lot of people are actually familiar with that stuff. Even then making a career out of it is somewhat easy but it's a complete pain in the ass and a huge bore, at least from my perspective, unless you REALLY enjoy 9-5 tapping away at a keyboard for the rest of your life.
It's good that people are attempting to teach girls how to be more tech savvy and smart. I really don't understand why people constantly criticize girls for wanting to gain more knowledge, and then taking it out on the service that offers said education to girls because 'they are teaching women.'
Even in your technologically advance cities and such you still gravitate towards that barbaric criticism of women and their pursuit for knowledge.
To me, it's not that "women shouldn't be in tech" - it's that I want women in tech, but the methods of getting them in tech are questionable.
I dunno about what you've seen, but I don't see anyone criticising the girls. I'm pissed off by the way they market and sell these programs.
I remember when they ran a video game design camp while I was young; it was for girls only. They never ran a camp or anything for boys. It's absolutely loving bullstuff that they "promote equality" by blocking out half the population.
forget off.
Boy, do I love those. Nothing that bugs me more than "female exclusive" clubs - your genitals shouldn't decide whether you're allowed in a club or not.
