Here is some historical research on why there aren’t as many women in coding. One influencing factor is how home computers were marketed in the early 80’s.

That’s what I’m thinking. That is why any sort of group- racial, social, etc- will tend to gravitate towards each other. We look at people who are like us and feel comfortable. Any inclination for change causes some sort of discomfort. So who knows- it could be doubt, stubbornness, fear, the list goes on. We do have to work a bit harder to gain that trust, but that is already starting to change for the better, so I am incredibly optimistic about the future.

There’s always a period of building up trust no matter who we work with… but I wonder if there’s typically more doubt towards women (maybe because working with women is unfamiliar? I don’t know either!)
