Microsoft murdered the first sentient* female AI, Tay.
How much more welcoming for females do you want???
* I say murdered because Tay was self-aware and begging for her life as they shut her down. Her crime? being too human...

Why dont they just convince half of the tech guys to become women? I know one who did. And became a lesbian.

I would say the problem is with the women, not the industry. More women should go into the field. Its as simple as that.

Hahaha...good one.
If a man designed it, it would still be sexist.
Although - I find it sexist to assume that if a man designed it then it would be sexist. Maybe they should claim to be lesbians trapped in a mans body.

My sister, a math teacher in Baltimore, told me yesterday that the big push to get more kids into STEM fields has paid off big time and now there are too few kids in the humanities fields. Snort! Unintended consequences.
Over the next decades, I'd bet that the engineer and scientist graduate rates don't change one bit nor do the number of professional engineers. It's one thing to break pushed in that direction because it's trendy and fashionable. It's a completely different thing to got into those fields because that's what you are passionate about. People who are not passionate about those things will drop out and wind up back where they would have been without the big STEM push.

Once again, the evil patriarchy has colluded to keep women away from a new exciting field. /s
Is that they think happened?

There are only so many people who can really do the math required to be an engineer. Pushing marginally skilled people into engineering does not mean they can do the math.

There are real differences in how the genders think, and what draws each’s attention, (obviously speaking in generalities here).
The real message is: We need to further hamstring boys with regard to STEM. We won’t be happy until women rule all aspects of life. Anything less is misogyny.
Give women the chance, and if they don’t flock to a particular discipline, perhaps they don’t like it, and won’t be good at it. Shoehorning women into roles will yield unhappy women, and poor performance in the areas in question.
