You also can't base your research only on peoples feelings, imagine a research about sexual harassment based on Zarna Joshi's diary.

(Or not. We don't know. That's why I really am sick of discussions amongst men about this subject. We literally don't know what we are talking about). | |
| Jul 26, 2017 at 1:33 | comment | added | Oleg | I worked with much more than 20 women (number of women in this "research") and never saw them face any kind of discrimination, nobody treated them differently, they had no problems participating in meetings and many were team leads. Nevertheless it is peer reviewed and published in a real journal so it's certainly valid to reference it in an answer. It's not even needed, saying "because it became more like engineering" is enough. This is the first answer that makes sense to me(even the lines converge), if you can also show it actually happened in the 80's it will answer the question. | |
