> In many places, a woman cannot get promoted from entry level, and THAT'S the problem. They go to interview for a leadership role and get turned down because 'they just can't see her lead a team of all or mostly men.'<p>Easily solved -- let women start their own software companies. Once that phase is complete, once it is men who can't rise above the entry level in a company run by women, things will sort themselves out.<p>I say this because most of what's being said on this issue lacks any kind of vision. We hear claims that women can't do this, women can't do that -- but none of it is objectively true when examined. In fact, <i>women can do anything they set their minds to</i>. The only remaining question is ... will they?<p>My one objection is the regularity with which I hear it said that these problems result from something that men are not doing for women. In fact, it is something that <i>women are not doing for women</i> and for themselves.<p>The day women stop asking men to do it for them, will be the first day of the biggest tech revolution ever seen.
