Why does this keep getting removed from the front page?
It's funny to see people justifying this in stupid ways. We all know why women do worse than men. Because they are not as good in technical fields as men. We all know this. Why are people in such denial?
Let's say that only 1% of programmers are women. We're supposed to believe that this is some grave injustice, that many great programmers are not hired because they are women and more still just don't even think about becoming programmers just because they are women. I could easily name 100 great programmers, Torvalds, Stallman, Carmack etc. I challenge anyone to name one, just ONE female programmer that is on that level. How could it possible be that out of the thousands of great programmers out there, not one woman has made it to that level?
Simple: they are NOT AS GOOD AT PROGRAMMING. Has anyone here ever worked with a woman? You end up redoing all of their work for them. In conversations with them it is abundantly clear that they do not understand what is going on. Their brains are just not wired to work that way. This goes for 95%+ of men too, by the way. But it's more like 99.99% of women.
I have the same problem. My hearing is also excellent. I have worked out what the problem is, though. The truth is, nobody can hear everything in a place like that. But other people can fill in gaps in speech, possibly from other signals like watching the face, but I think mainly from a conversation model in their brain. For some reason I either lack the model, or it's just not trained properly (more likely tbh), so I have to hear everything to understand.
