>Black employees make up just 6.4% of Boeing’s U.S. workforce and 4.4% of its engineers. Women account for 23% of employees and 17% of engineers
I heard a talk given by the only woman on the Mars Curiosity rover core team. She spoke about how incredible it was that the mission plan was for the rover to land in 2011 and operate for 2 years, and it's still operational today.
Then she talked about how they needed more women at NASA and JPL.
Seems like the all-male-save-for-one team grossly exceeded every expected mission parameter. How would adding more women improve those results?
They don't "need" more females at NASA and JPL. They need qualified people. White males built the world, women destroy.
If they want more women to be employed at these places, maybe said women should be studying harder to become more capable?
The thing is, even when a society encourages women to go into jobs like this, it actually makes it more likely they'll stick to a job defined by gender roles. There are of course outliers (I'm one of them in real life), but it's damn insulting to someone like me if they think I got a job just because I have a vagina, rather than because I'm capable at what I do. And I got my job because of capability, not because I happen to have the favoured set of genitals.
Seems the latest mission is run by pajeets, even their videos use pajeet-english grammar.
Answer: It wouldn't.
