Google wants public high school students, especially girls, to discover the magic of coding. Each eligible female student who completes our computer programming lesson will earn DonorsChoose.org credits for your classroom.
[ ... ]
You’ll receive a $100 DonorsChoose.org gift code for every female student who completes the course. When 4 or more female students complete it, we’ll email you an additional $500 gift code

Great idea!
Other possible gender sensitive promotions:
www.WasteManagement.com
Every girl you sign up to be a Garbage Carrier gets you a new garbage can! If you sign up 4 girls, you get a Solyndra solar panel as well!
www.Jihad.org
Every girl bomber you sign up gets you a new hajib!
Depends who’s calling. It might be your neighbor alerting you that the SWAT team is suiting up in your driveway.
Ridiculous and stupid. Just like all other liberal ideas.
Hmmmm. Since gender is now "fluid" according to the latest modern thinking, then anybody can qualify, right?
Google must have heard that women get paid less than men. Either that, or Google males can’t get dates.
The aim is to lessen dependence on men, devalue marriage, thereby causing more women to vote in a manner that reflects a view of gummint as de-facto husband.
Thereby growing the state at the cost of general happiness and fulfillment.
” I was having a ‘feminine’ day when I signed up.”
Just like engineering, I want individuals who naturally gravitate into those fields. I have seen the end result of individuals who were “encouraged” to those kind of fields, and jobs must be found for the “encouraged” ones that separate them from activities that can cause damage, since they cannot be fired due to their kryptonite shielding created by their plumbing. This is not to say that there are not plenty of excellent differently plumbed engineers and programmers, but as I said above, those ones generally gravitated to those fields by themselves and naturally. Encouraging people who aren’t naturally interested in the field helps no one.
I hate it when I do that ;)
Exactly. I’m a programmer myself, and I’d like to see more women in the field, but I don’t need anybody who was connived, cajoled, coerced, or convinced to take it up.
“Exactly. I’m a programmer myself, and I’d like to see more women in the field, but I don’t need anybody who was connived, cajoled, coerced, or convinced to take it up.”
You’ll wish that is who you’d get; more likely you’ll get people with no skills at all PRETENDING to take it up. They aren’t steering the “protected minorities” into these fields; they’re simply forcing the companies to hire them (at the point of a lawsuit) and PRETEND they work in those fields.
not really
women are much more likely to vote with the left.
the point is to help those politically aligned correctly to get into positions of authority and power
Google needs to recruit young females because of how they vote? Young females already tend to vote for the fascists. As for getting into positions of authority and power, we need only look at Lois Lerner and Valerie Jarrett to see that the Democrats already have that covered.
this isn’t new. they’ve been doing it for decades. and they will keep doing it so as to refill their ranks and maintain control thru ideologically aligned individuals that advance in their education and professions into positions of authority
understanding how they play the game goes a long way to stopping them.
Now for us being able to stop it, not a chance as long as the Democrats have a lock on stupid voters.
We need to start sueing these bastards.

Along the lines of your point, I saw this recently:
whenever you’re in a position of authority and find yourself in a situation to hire or advance any dem/progressive... don’t.
if you’re in the position to award a grant or scholarship, avoid dem/progressive candidates.
do not praise them at any stage of their lives.
give them nothing but scorn and ridicule.
we’ve tried being nice... that got us here.
