Could you clarify what you mean by “coming through education”?
I would’ve thought that population representation is the definition of underrepresented because it shows they are underrepresented in the population.
But I am interested if there is another way to measure this.
Does that mean less qualified woman get jobs that based on merit alone rightfully are deserved by men?
What about Asians? They're over represented in engineering roles, should we stop hiring them and hire more white males to "even it out"? Or is it because they're a minority it's ok to have over representation? Do you realise that makes white people under represented? Do you just not care because they have privilege and this evens it out?
Don't get me wrong, I love seeing woman in tech, I'm aware of the history of toxic behavior that prevents them from joining and pushed them out in the 70s and I do encourage initiatives to improve their representation but I draw the line at negative discrimination, that Marxist crap does nobody any good ever.
