Is something wrong with ballet since it's mostly women?



Yes. There is SO MUCH wrong with ballet. So much. Like, way more than is wrong with tech or computer science. Just... so much is wrong with ballet.

Of course, while a majority of ballet dancers are women the people who run ballets are almost entirely male, which should give you some insight into what is wrong with ballet.

Indeed, if you want to feel better about tech I have never heard of a tech company where developers were openly expected to sleep with the person running the team to get a promotion, so we are beating the New York City ballet by a mile.


Possibly? Or at least in the social pressure at school that stops boys from dancing, and/or the way that dance is taught.
