As a computer teacher, this is great, because there is a large discrepancy between the amount of boys, compared to girls, involved in or taking an interest in coding/technology.
Maybe they simply have less interest in such things as coding?

We surely will never see an event like this to get male nurses. Let the people choose what they want...
Diversity
The person whose name is associated with nursing care, Florence Nightingale, was a woman whose preeminent role was that of creating a platform for the nursing occupation. The nursing field doesn't have to be predominantly female, as many male nurses are discovering. Approximately 5 percent of nurses are male, according to the Winter 2006 feature article "Recruiting Men Into Nursing School," for "Minority Nurse" magazine. Increasing diversity among applicants increases the pool from which to choose candidates, and it also can prove worthwhile in serving the needs of a diverse patient base.
Men can be great nurses, no doubt. But it will always be a female-dominated field. Women are more drawn to nurturing roles. Men are typically more drawn to logical, process/problem solving roles. Basic human biology.I would call your attention to an item in the linked piece cited below.
The magazine referenced in that piece, Minority Nurse, has been published for over 20 years now. Their focus has shifted in accordance with not only topics of interest to minority nurses, but to help meet the perceived need for changes in how nurses are recruited in order to serve the changing demographics (all of them) of hospital patients.
Less interest doesn't mean no interest.Maybe they simply have less interest in such things as coding?
As the owner of a plumbing company, in the business since my parents founded it in 1968, 100% of our plumbers and 100% of our applicants have been men.
I do wonder why I've never seen a 'girls who plumb' initiative.
Or a 'boys who nurse' one, for that matter.

Or is it because they are taught from very early age "what is or girls" and "what is not for girls"?
Do you have any idea how powerful childhood programming is?
You replied to literally 1/3 of my original post and think I'm moving goal posts. Get a grip lol.Basic human nursing now involves enough technology to make plenty of men regard 21st nursing as a tech specialty and so worthy of being tagged as a guy thing, if someone wants to take them up on the question during the occasional off-duty evening at the pub...
My point was that a nursing shortage certainly has driven recruiters to look for ways to attract more men, as opposed to your original stipulation there'd not be such events. Don't shift goal posts so obviously.
Facts = trolling now eh? Hate to see it happen, bud!I assume you're trolling. But if not, you've very effectively demonstrated why positive discrimination is needed.
Careful, James Damore.

If all the kids are non-binary, these segregated female-only Apple workshops will have to be shut down. Sad!that's ok. more and more children will be forced into being raised "non-binary", so we won't have to deal with this "lack of women who code" nonsense.
Hmm... it's almost as if there's a difference in interests between a girl and a boy. ...

NAAAAHHHHH!! That's stupid talk.

How many children do you have and have raised to adulthood?
Just gonna jump in here. Just because you were a child at one point in time and know of females doesn't automatically make someone's argument invalid. The two are not correlated at all. I, too, was a child once. Also I know many females (as you might imagine by my stunning and captivating smile), but that doesn't automatically invalidate any arguments!Zero, for now.
But I was a child. I also have three sisters. I also went through schools, and there I knew many girls.
Therefore, your argument is invalid. I know what many children go to, even though I do not have children, yet.

And that is a problem why?Damn right!
Even those few women in coding are in front end/design.
Women in backend and data science are rare as the blue moon.

Same argument could be made we are missing out on lots of male talent because they never got a chance because of focus towards females in education and quotas in companies.
How about making sure it is a problem before coming up with solutions that potentially have huge implications on the social fabric?
