bleghhhhhhh

I have such mixed feelings on that post celebrating women coders that is floating around

Like, I think it’s great that more women are going into the field! There is a huge gender imbalance! The math and science fields are hugely dominated by men!

But I am a woman who has changed her major from computer science to art history. And I needed to do it! I was growing to hate the work, and I was having panic attacks and nervous breakdowns all the time! It is so much better for my mental health to not be studying computer science any more.

And even though I know all that, I sometimes feel really guilty about changing majors, because I feel like I am letting people down by not continuing to be a woman in a male dominated science field. And it is a really weird feeling to read posts talking about how we need more women coders, because I could have been one, but now I’m not.
