My fiancee suggested a women and gender studies course be an early requirement for #compsci majors, and I totally agree with her. Guys in my major are so tone-deaf, and they're making women uncomfortable.
It makes more sense than my school requiring me to take a nutrition and exercise course (because I think they think console jockeys are fat)
I mentioned this on my other profile, but when I stopped by the computer science club at my school, the club president joked about tits when he found out the women's shirts with the club logo cost more.
Maybe he didn't realize he was being sexist. Maybe he thought women can take those jokes. But imagine dealing with that shit 16 hours a week, for four years, and knowing you need to colab with those jerks on group projects. And a lot of them don't get it's alienating in the first place.
