[Women's Wednesdays] Is it 2015 in tech and engineering yet?

I recently came across an article on Facebook about women in tech and engineering fields.

“Because it’s 2015.” Prime Minister Justin Trudeau used these words to explain his decision to opt for gender equality in his newly inaugurated cabinet — a first in Canadian history.

Last winter, the University of Toronto announced another record in gender equality: 30.6 per cent of first-year undergraduates enrolled in engineering programs were, for the first time ever, women. While this was celebrated as a major gain in correcting the historic disparity between male and female enrollment in engineering, it is notable that the tech field now lags behind the federal cabinet in terms of gender equality substantially. I spoke with U of T students in tech and engineering in order to gain their perspectives on the unequal gender distribution in their programs and the tensions that can consequently ensue.

The article then discusses several student's stories about the sexism they saw/experienced. Thoughts?
