That's an interesting article.
Twice as many women were suggested they could take up a trade as wished that they were offered that opportunity .. but the article spins that as 24% weren't suggested to take up a trade.
I live in UK and was never given any career guidance, I wish a trade had been offered to me too; I'm not sure that's a difference based on sex though.
I hate the common form "these women weren't given X, it's horribly sexist" without comparison to show it was even different for men at all.

Things got out of control with the advent of the social network movie. All of a sudden the general population thought coders were snorting cocaine off strippers in Palo Alto while wiping their bums with hundred dollar bills. Now everybody wants to join the party.

Yeah. It's the guys in the sales dept that are doing the coke off of strippers.
Anything to make the sale.

Wait, that's not what you do?
No, people tend to be only interested in professions that are "hip" enough. Nobody is going to glamorize plumbers (even though they certainly should!).
