1. Same thing for art/technical conventions

I've noticed the trend. It wasn't as bad a decade ago. I see men with their laptops open sharing technical info and rarely see women acting this way. I find it hard to develop my passion with other women. It's still seen as "nerdy". Creative is another thing but support is difficult to find there as well. There are exceptions, but it's usually with men that I can learn technology and find opportunity.

Women want to talk about men and social moments overall too much imo.

Also, it seems too much for many women to let go to a career 100%. I can see why, if you do that you might not have time for a relationship or children.
