That it’s less than half is an achievement at this point. A sad and fucked up achievement, but an improvement nonetheless.

I wonder how tightly focused the term “gender discrimination” is. Not every woman I know in my company has been discriminated against for job opportunities, and not every woman I know in my company has experienced sexual harassment, but if “discrimination” includes harassment then I would guess it is above 50%.

I know my pre-COVID office had a floor of nearly 200 engineers, and only 3 women.

Regardless of policy, bias is going to happen at that scale, usually not in favor of the women. Honestly makes me sad how tough it must be.
