First semester of my cs degree, it was around 50/50. After 3 semesters very few women were left. Spoiler: it was not because they could not handle the courses.

It was another time, but the first field my mother went into was IT. She dropped her punch cards on her way to the computer and had to explain to the teacher that she would need time to put them back in order. His reaction?
“Women have no business in my class, go do the nursing program instead.”

The takeover of a what was once a female-dominated sector was in full swing at that point. A damn shame. Did she stick it out?

Nah, but she still ended up as a manager in a tech company so she won in the end 😂

I had a shitty old (late 60s) boss in 2008 who once interviewed a female engineer straight out of college.
Most interviews he gave took like 25-30 minutes. He spent an hour and a half in the conference room with this young woman.
After she left he said something to the team like "Sure wouldn't mind seeing her around the office every day eh? We're not hiring her of course. Women don't have the head for this work."
This same guy had me block all news sites except Fox News (I was the IT director). He was fine with his employees reading the news as long as it was Fox.
