7 Reasons Why Women Fail In Technology And What Can Be Done About It by HeelsandTech: 2:25pm On Nov 17, 2022
Ever wondered why there are so few women in technology? We all agree that technology is one of the most significant advancements in the world right now, and it is constantly improving. More hands will be required to make everything work together as it rises.

Men have been in charge of the tech industry since the invention of technology and for many centuries now, despite the fact that we have been brainwashed with the idea that “it’s a man’s thing, women can’t fit in,” and we have drunk from the well of gender bias, segregation, and limitation that appears to be unquestionable.

Additionally, you may have overheard some women making statements that you interpreted as “impossible” about technology and how the task appears to be too difficult to complete. Furthermore, you couldn’t blame them since the majority of them probably encountered some limitations and downgrading from their male counterparts. In all honesty, it’s very challenging to find a job in technology, let alone a hobby. Nevertheless, it’s no longer a secret that women in the tech industry face numerous obstacles and discrimination, and most people would rather assign a male to handle any tech-related duties in their company than a female. Some of the reasons why women struggle in tech could be due to this and numerous other difficulties.

For quite some time, technology was an industry where women were underrepresented. The good news is that it is finally changing, and it is such wonderful news to know that the number of female technologists is increasing every year.

However, if you are reading this, consider yourself fortunate because, as a woman in tech, you will succeed in the field far beyond your contemporaries. However, there are some things you need to know because the journey won’t get any simpler. While it may seem easy at first, as you advance, the going gets harder and there is more knowledge to pick up. The numerous attempts by women to advance their careers or make a difference in the tech industry have all been unsuccessful for a variety of reasons.

Here are a few reasons why women struggle in the tech industry.
