it's not a bias, it's a fact. you may not like it but that doesn't make it any less true.


This "fact" seems to be derived from your observation that your daughter doesn't have an appreciation for counting. From that observation, you've concluded that "she mustn't like it because she's a girl". Please tell me you know how lazy this reasoning is. I'm a woman, and I never liked counting or arithmetic. Now I study electronic engineering.


the point is not a sweeping generalization about all women. the point is: statistically, a higher percentage of men like computer science/programming than women.

My experience as a parent and as a person who has learned about parenting is that these types of interests are often innate: i've seen this over and over again. For example, our daughter loved shiny things (before age 2) before any kind of social conditioning could take place.
