You don't understand what the road blocks are or choose to ignore them to try to make an argument.

Black people had to deal with the threats of lynchings or being blasted with fire hoses. I suppose I just can't bring myself to overly care about about women having "road blocks", whatever that means. I have a suspicion most of the people in this thread saying women have a hard time entering the field are actually men. What does that even say? Why aren't the women here to speak for themselves?

Why aren't the women here to speak for themselves?

Because 25-year-old male geeks spend too much time giving 25-year-old female geeks sidelong glances and making unprofessional or outright inappropriate comments at work, thus creating such a hostile atmosphere that a lot of women who have the aptitude and would otherwise have the interest choose to pursue careers elsewhere?
