Like in every other area in human activity, we need women to active in every way on tech and science if we want them to be in good shape. Any woman that wants to come into these areas should be able to do so, on equal terms with her male counter parts.
The fact that women that have a talent for science or tech, are not actively encouraged is both sad and disturbing. We need them to come, actively contribute if we want to advance as a society. Their contributions are as valuable as any one a male can make, and not allowing them to do so has a negative impact not only on a personal level. It also negatively affects society at large, because at the very least we can suffer a minor set back.
Both science and tech need to be stop being viewed as men's turf. It's the turf of any one that wants to work in it, regardless of their gender. What should be taken into account, is the quality of their work and research.
Until both women and men can actually be equally respected on the world of science and tech, there will be a thorn on my side making be aware than we aren't doing enough to make this a better world. There is no reason why women that select to come to science and tech, can't expect to be treated with respect and have the same expectations to be taken into account like men do.
Women have great things to contribute, they have the right to be allowed to do so. Not allowing them to come freely, and do so, we risk the better future we all want to build.
