On: Why I won’t give talks about being a woman in tech

[rarec]

Could it not also be said that societal pressures push men towards tech and other high stress/paying work?

[nucleardog → rarec]

If you look at any list of "most dangerous jobs", it's invariably a list of male-dominated professions.

Are men going into these roles because they all have a death wish, or is it maybe some sort of cultural push to be "manly" and a "provider"?
