Why are men overrepresented in tech?
Position‹2 of 2

This position attributes men's overrepresentation in tech to a natural predisposition. It argues that men tend to be drawn to things rather than people, and are more 'systems-oriented' — a tendency it holds steers them toward technical fields like technology.

  1. Males are more systems-oriented
    Systemizing is defined as the drive to analyze or build a rule-based system, and since technology requires a specific set of rules to follow, men are naturally more inclined to work in the industry.
