Hm...

51/49 ratio among the population -> 5/95 ratio in tech fields -> 50/50 ratio at tech conferences.

Problem solved? Or did we just skip solving the problem and direct the audience's attention to the sparkling fire?




OK.. It wasn't clear to me from what you said before that you even viewed disproportionate representation in tech as the problem. I agree with that.

However, as I said below, I think having tech conferences with women present might be more than just a trick to pretend that the problem is solved, but actually be a tiny part of the solution.
