While other professions are making up ground, cybersecurity still lags behind in female representation, thanks to a lack of respect and inclusion.

    My son likes pink, no one has told him that’s a girl color. It’s not 100% all the time girls will like x and boys will like y. I guarentee if you isolated girls and boys from the rest of society from birth, the boys will be wrestling each other and the girls will be doing more nurturing type activities. Are there exceptions, yes.

      I completely agree. However, its a spectrum on both sides, not a binary is the point. It just skews more for each gender. They are not exceptions, they just fall differently on the spectrum.

      Nurturing like teaching, chef and doctor? Those are all traditional male roles.

      Lots of behavior is learned. Lots is instinctive. Puppy’s learn by play fighting. Cats learn by play hunting. Pupoys don’t instinctively pee lifting a leg. They learn it from other dogs, yet we see it as innate behaviour. How much is nurturing and wrestling innate vs learned? Its impossible to isolate from society, so we can only speculate and study the degree to which it applies, with broad accuracy.

      As it happens my other son attends the same daycare and pink is his favoyrite colour.
