@boomzilla Well, she didn't sing about girls just wanting to learn English, did she?

Looks like it's more than just carnivorism:
Central to the ideology, according to the theory, is the acceptance of meat-eating as "natural", "normal", "necessary", and (sometimes) "nice". An important feature of carnism is the classification of only particular species of animal as food, and the acceptance of practices toward those animals that would be rejected as unacceptable cruelty if applied to other species. This classification is culturally relative, so that, for example, dogs are eaten by some people in Korea but may be pets in the West, while cows are eaten in the West but protected in much of India.
TIL.

Carnism is a concept used in discussions of humanity's relation to animals, defined as a prevailing ideology that conditions people to support the use and consumption of animal products, especially meat.[n 1]
Uh... that's not anything more than just carnivorism, that's saying "Most people are not vegetarians, so we're calling them carnists to distinguish". Notice the key word "prevailing".

Otherwise, vegetarians would have to call themselves herbavores and therefore adhere to herbavorism.
I noticed it's not meatarian, or meatism. I suspect they find it offensive to reduce animals to meat.
Cultural classifications are always silly. So much concern for offending people.
Maybe they could have called it cattleism. Bah, overthinking it.

Here's a song I wrote, it's called "I'm not a vegetarian because I love animals. I'm a vegetarian because I hate plants."

for the love of $dietyOrNull tell me this is satire.
I mean, it's an advert for GirlsWhoCode, so I'm not sure that technically qualifies as satire, since it's not mocking a specific thing. But it's sassy and sarcastic af. That blonde is my hero.
I guess I just don't get it. Maybe it is my dislike of groups for women only.

@Karla said in The Official Funny Stuff Thread™:

...I'm confused as to what you don't get?
The premise is that people say women don't code. And the commercial discusses, sarcastically, the reasons why. It ends with the assertion that of course women code. It was paid for by a non-profit networking group for female coders.

I just wish there were more who did.
2 jobs ago: about 20 male devs and one female.
Previous job: about 8-9 male devs and 0 female.
Current job: about 20 male devs and 2 female. (Progress!)

Surprisingly, we have a pretty decent female representation at the company (well, for a dev shop at least)... and every single one of them is in QA (well, and HR/BA stuff, but skipping those). Even those who do code with Selenium or other automatic stuff. Wonder why that is.

Yeah, there are plenty of women in QA. But they're not coders.

Automated testing pretty much is coding (we don't do macro recording, either honest to God writing against Selenium APIs or manual testing), and in a pretty shitty ecosystem at that (seriously, Selenium suuuuucks bigtime).

We have a few coders who work on android, iphone, or mac. None on the Windows team tho. (Well, my boss, but she doesn't code anymore)

Currently where I work is probably close to 50/50 and we only have 1 QA so not statistically significant.
The only places I've worked where there wasn't a significant amount of women were too small to be significant (Dev team of 3 in each).
-
In the five jobs I've had, I've only worked with two female coders. IIRC, one of them used to be a children's TV presenter on Iranian TV.

@RaceProUK My current job has a female director, one female webdev (out of like 15), and me. There are a couple women in the Business Intelligence team, but they don't code much, they mostly work with the tool. There are a couple women on the EDI team, but again, they're mostly configuring Axway, they don't code much. There is a woman coder on the ERP team, she's great. So that makes three of us. There are plenty of women BAs. In the QA industry you see a lot of women as manual testers, and some of them eventually pick up automation and become coders, but many do not. It's weird to me, who has always been a coder first.

Let's have a count:
Support/Functional specialists/BA/System Engineers (all non-administrative but mostly non-dev): 17
Dev: 2
Management: 1Totalling at 23 out of 89 in a Software firm

On my team we have the project manager, two devs and two QA people (so, 5) who are women. Then there are 9 men (1 asst project manager, 1 dev manager, 4 devs including me, a DBA and two system admins).
One of the QA people does some coding (mostly selenium stuff right now).
