A report just came out about the bias of men against women when hiring in science. fyi.

Obviously. Male computer scientists will almost always be superior to their female counterparts. It's probably our (men's) fault, but it doesn't change the current state of the situation.

Not taking you seriously or anything KingZ, but this is something I have been seriously wondering; is it sexist or biased to not have many women in certain fields or is it simply a lack of women interested in these fields? Take politics for example. Here in Australia we have a small handful of female politicians, including our Prime Minister, so, here at least, we obviously have no problem with women in politics. We have many successful women doctors and scientists. So this does make me wonder if it really is a problem of stereotyping and lack of opportunity for women, and I, at this point in time, tend to believe that that's not the case. It's just a simple case of more men than women being interested in certain fields.
