monikulapo: It’s either you want to fight or you want to take me out to lunch so I can explain better. But in a decent tech company recruitment is primarily done/scrutinized by experienced developers - they make time to interview you, test for soft skills, recommend you to the HR. They’re the ones who know what they need. So if I have say on a project I would be on the recruitment team. So if you’re trying to imply that am I HR, heck no I am not HR but that doesn’t really apply to the industry we are talking about. Why are you mansplaining, though? BRATIS LAVA: If inclusion is what you call easier...
However, tell us how watered down recruitment tests are, please. Is it that the tests for men and women are determinedly different? Like if a role has specific requirements, they will water it down and hire an incompetent person because it's a female? Or is she actually competent?
We're all here to learn. |

monikulapo: Your adjectives are interesting, interesting coz I was the one that diffused the situation 
I didn’t think I had to explain but I don’t need to know the yardstick for recruitment if they’re my colleagues, I’m a labourer I don’t need to know what the recruiter asked if they employ another labourer, I would know their skill level and the average expectations in the position. Replace labourer with any other related position. In essence, you're still saying that you aren't recruitment. |

monikulapo: And if your gripe is that I’m agreeing with the other guy. I agree with the the gist but I mentioned it’s not as cynical as he’s made it out to be. Honestly as a female, it’s just a call that if you put the effort in you’ll find it easier in tech than in most other industries in Nigeria. There's no gripe. You are free to agree with what resonates with you. I agree with him on certain things. I welcome the differing opinion but would have liked to learn more than the emotional submissions my post prompted. And yes, I was hoping for recruitment to tell us more. |

monikulapo: If you missed it the point I made and agreed to is that if you had equally qualified people, the female would be chosen. And for developer relation type roles females are generally chosen. Plus nowhere did I imply unqualified or unproductive. I didn’t even say more prominent when talking about the job positions. Nowhere did I paint the topic in a negative light. Honestly, if I was in the same position I would employ a female. Also I don’t need to be in recruitment, what’s your logic ? these are people I worked with, first hand experience not opinions, facts. Honestly chillax this isn’t a heated conversation, I guess it’s just my observations ... It isn't a heated conversation. I stated that it was all about learning from my first post here, today. With further passionate submissions it's clear why women stay away from tech. Not because it's difficult. Rather because it's a boys club in which women will always be seen as given undue advantage because of technically anything eg. a voice, inclusion. Who wants to be seen as substandard constantly trying to prove themselves? It isn't easier for any gender. Everyone puts in the effort. The best person gets the job. Let's leave it at that. |

It appears inclusion is misconstrued as favoring women in tech. Women are qualified for those roles.
The guy who said he was interning and the two CS grads took over more prominent roles, would you have the same objections if it were males with connections under the same circumstances?
How do you know if recruitment would've screened men differently? Are you part of the recruitment team and have some unique insights for us?
I asked how recruitment waters down things for women and got no response. I was hoping we could all learn something new. Rather than a response, there are more posts claiming things that sound more like personal opinions than fact. Have any of you interviewed women in tech to know what their competency and recruitment scrutiny was like in relation to their roles? No response?
It defies logic for a company to hire two unproductive staff who do fairly important work, because they are females.
Anyway, the testosterone in here is stifling. |

airsaylongcome: TBH, I am shocked and disappointed by the assertion tensazan.getsu20 made. Completely stunned to my marrow
It's almost like saying it's okay to hire an unqualified surgeon if she is female. Even with inclusion policies ALL candidates are expected to meet a minimum baseline irrespective of gender Perhaps that's one of the tech myths that needs to be dispelled. Obviously we don't expect much of females at pretty much anything, because they are females, but I cannot see them being treated preferentially just because guys in the field feel they can't possibly measure up. It's a boys club doesn't mean only men have the aptitude. This is why inclusion came to be. The same way guys claim females reading male courses have it easier. Never knew the marking template had a big M on one and an F on the other. In fact, responding to a perceived female is a slight. |

tensazangetsu20: Women have it much easier in tech. Even the recruitment system is watered down if a woman is involved. In DSA tests, women will be getting easy and men will be getting hards and mediums. If inclusion is what you call easier... However, tell us how watered down recruitment tests are, please.

tensazangetsu20: Well if you are a lady you can start. Women in tech have it much easier and if it doesn't work out there's always marriage to a very rich man. Everyone will expend the same effort. This belief that women have it easier is untrue. You sat the same tests/exams that women sat and passed, same way you did, so how is it suddenly easier for them? The latter is another assumption. |

It's no longer catching cruise this way around? The post happens to be made by a man, and we've seen so much toxic misogyny that it behooves one to point out a noticeable trend. It is good we call out the wickedness and manipulative nature of men for all to see. That way they can stop pointing fingers at women and put out the fire in their own houses. The post you quoted happens to be true. |

If this isn't fantasy, what can we call the above story?
Just listen to yourself, op. Her father gave her a middle income life, and somehow it's her fault that you were bricklaying? Do you have a problem with your fellow man? You are looking for revenge? On whom? Why didn't you marry a lady who was sweeping the road so that you could be at the same level in life? Did they tie you with an chain to her?
The hearts of men are desperately wicked. Fear men.
Too many embittered, damaged, broken younger men are on the loose looking for a female to blame and punish for their failures. This is the type of man that most nairaland males are. |

themanderon: Just because we now live in a world where evil is the new good and everyone seems to be doing it doesn't make it right. Well, almost everyone is doing it. That's how people get married, even the pastors. Anyone preaching celibacy until marriage is a hypocrite. If God wanted people that way, he would've given everyone a life partner at 16 when most people get curious to test sex. But he didn't. There's no cream cake at the end of virginity that only virgins at marriage will eat. At least he has a child that a lot of married people don't have. He just needs to grow into the role. |

It might just be your saving grace in the future. Your parents sent you to school to get a certificate it seems you will be coming home with a bonus. What's wrong with a good dividend of fornication? All the people who do it and can't have children, and married/single people that can't have children, wouldn't they wish desperately they could have this dividend of fornication? A lot of married people had sex before they got married, so it's no big deal. |

Not shaming sha. But that dude is fond of creating topics like these. Hopefully sourcing for other spinsters that might message him. And that's not wrong.

Some are 50, never been married and still playing in the short grass. But heavens forbid we scrutinize such a happy go lucky sower. Bachelors and their ways.

Babaken: The choice is hers to stay or not you are telling me a responsibile man will just wake up and start beating the person he claim to love to the extent of proposing to her did she tell you what she did that warrant the beating. When some of you hear that a man lay hands on a woman authentically the man is a beast the lady is an angel without asking the offense of the lady You that's preaching am very sure out of anger you may have lay your hands on your junior or kid's for things they did wrong you have been cautioning them for long. The man is a woman beater he is not caring not romantic there's nothing good about the man still you accept his proposal seeking for opinion if to continue with the marriage or not. If he's "responsible", why is he committing the crime of battery? Look, there is a gross difference between beating a child and beating a person you didn't give birth to, an adult. Are you her parent? You are comparing a fish with a seal. What he did is called criminal battery/assault. If she reports him to human rights bodies or reliable police, he will be arrested. Nobody will ask him for his good side or what she did to him when she clearly didn't touch him. How many times has your fellow man beaten you for "offending" him? Would you take it as a fact of life that you pushed him into beating you because people beat their children too? (I don't support raising hands on a woman) (but I try to justify it happening) = I support raising hands on a woman |
