It’s a strange juxtaposition – the seemingly contradictory stuff we see in the news about women. On one hand, more women than men (and more women than ever) attend and graduate from university, but on the other, they go into tech fields less frequently and, if they do, are sometimes made to feel unwelcome. We see more stories than ever about inequality and subsequent attempts to enforce equality (whether by requiring corporate boards to appoint an equal number of women or giving both men and women adequate parental leave rights, for example), but where is equality in practice? Well, other than in the new Canadian government cabinet, where the newly elected prime minister, Justin Trudeau, said he appointed 50 percent women because “it’s 2015”.
