Here's the opinion of the Society for Women Engineers: > Cutting these [DEI] programs means fewer resources for students that need support. It’s devastating for women https://swe.org/magazine/dei-faces-rising-waters/ That's an admission that DEI in schools supports women, from some of its biggest advocates. Where are the programs to support boys in school? Edit: Of course, the mere existence of the Society for Women Engineers, AAUW, and other groups focused on women in education, without comparable groups for men, is another example of the phenomenon. They're a remnant of a time when they were necessary, now favoring the group that has not only caught up, but taken the lead. | |||||||||||||||||

Women are not close to even 50% of engineering students or industry or academic engineers yet you go after society of women engineers? Let's flip it - nursing, where men are a minority: Oh look, a society dedicated to men in nursing. This is completely reasonable. The idea to go from "women are most of college graduates" to "society of women engineers should not exist" is insane. > without comparable groups for men Did you even try? https://www.naesp.org/resource/male-models/ It's a serious topic in education, yes it's a thing people care about. I studied with and was friends with women in my computer engineering major, SWE helped connect them with industry engineers who could speak about what it was like being a women in engineering. | |||||||||||||||||
