Where do you live that you find women computer scientists to be the dominant population?
I work in a 97% female industry.
I don't want to take away from the initial topic at hand but I'd genuinely be interested to hear what similarities and differences you encounter (as someone who once thought of working in a female dominated workplace but got reality checked quickly out of the idea by bad experiences)
What industry is that?
Early Childhood Education.
So teaching/tutoring or something different? Had thought schools were a lot more balanced gender wise nowadays, at least from what I remember
Early childhood is preschool aged, so ages 0-5. What some may call nursery/creche/daycare/kindergarten.
Ah right, wild guess says it's designing systems for them and not attempting to teach 5 year olds c++
That's exceedingly rare.
Nursing/Kindergarten or something? Isn't that about that high?
