7 Reasons Why its Better to Be a Woman in Tech

Finally, someone speaking some sense on this issue. I don't doubt that harassment happens to women in the tech field...it happens in every field. But, being an engineering student and now working in the tech field it's been eye opening how advantageous it was and is to be a woman in tech in many ways. I don't have any hard feelings about it. I appreciate women trying to make it in a man's industry by being capable and taking advantage of the fact women are mostly absent in the field.<p>Your points are valid and well articulated. I appreciate something being said about the lack of women that isn't just complaining about it, but instead sees it as opportunity.

I think she is being very honest, and she's right on the money.<p>I think it's fair to point out she appears to be very attractive, and she may possibly be experiencing some of these benefits at a higher level than other women in the industry who may not be as blessed with such beauty.<p>Don't get me wrong, same happens for men in many cases, ie, a slob in an "All your base" t-shirt is looked at differently than a groomed man in a suit.<p>I just think this information should be factored into her post.
