I think we should look at:
[The bulleted list from which I quoted some items]"
According to her, these particular items are reasons why women specifically are not participating in tech.
And again - focusing a CS class on algorithms is not discrimination.
They're reasons why women are not participating— not reasons why "women are different from men in ways that make them poorly suited to a role in computing". There is a huge difference.
No one is saying a class on algorithms is discrimination. Are you intentionally misconstruing her article or are you truly this confused?
No, it says the gender gap is caused— in part— by assumptions that favor men due to the tech industry already favoring men. The first item on the list about video games being male-centric sets up the rest.
