Fucking jesus christ it only took 50 years for it to happen.
And people wonder why women don't feel welcome in these disciplines.
Yeah, you're right.
But I'm a little optimistic. The image being widely used for decades is a symptom, not the cause of women being unwelcome.
With it being finally banned, it seems like this is changing. Hopefully this means the root cause, misogyny in tech, is at an all time low.
Fully agreed, it was a symptom of a larger problem, not the problem itself. I hope in professional circles this trend continues.
