Is there something about computers and AI that men have a knack for?
As usual, we have men outraged about a more even playing field.

#15Vicious cycle: 1. There is a relatively stable job opening with diversity requirements. The 'diverse' hire is made. 2. The 'non-diverse' candidates for the position end up not getting the job.
