This Industry is Fucked (2015)

I'll just say that in Turkey I have worked with many female programmers and different females on the periphery (ones who interact with programmers on a daily basis, but may not be, themselves, programmers) and we do not have that problem here. No one disrespects them or makes advances towards or anything like that.

Not only that, but more and more women are taking Computer Science and getting into programming here in Turkey.

I'm also an American (born and raised) so I'd have to say it's a cultural issue, not an industry one. Fix your culture.

Industries have cultures. Cultural issues and issues within an industry's culture are not mutually exclusive by definition.

>Fix your culture

That's the point of this blog post and conversation. We aren't going to fix anything by skirting blame onto greater societal forces and continue on business as normal
