>Whatever is holding women's participation in our field at or below twenty percent is artificial, and a travesty.

CS is often toxic in my opinion. I can recall one instance were a lecturer harped on about why "men are better than women" .

Wish i spoke up, but the guy ruled the place.

So one douche bag makes a whole field toxic? Come on.

>>lawles+(OP)
How many instances can you recall where that didn't happen?

If one douche bag can harp on without being challenged on this?

I still fail to see how people's reluctance to make a public display in an academic lecture is somehow reflective of sexism in the field as a whole. How exactly does this tirade you speak of have any more influence than some random street preacher spouting about our sins and the end times?
