Internet Trolls Make Fun Of This Victoria’s Secret Model For Saying She Can Code, Get Shut Down With Perfect Reply

First coders were women. And they weren’t paid much compared to what some programmers got paid after the field got filled with males, instead. But really, any male who doubts a woman’s ability in STEM should remember that he’s part of the problem, and that his insecurities are showing big time. However, the men who can have the mental ability to comprehend that intelligence and physical appearance got nothing to do with one another, and are supportive of women in STEM, those men are much appreciated, and their support is recognized. Good on her for doing it all

As a girl who works in tech YES. I can't count how many times I have been troubleshooting over the phone and had someone ask if they could speak to the IT guy. I am the IT guy.

It’s sad because this happens too often, and more women need to speak up like her. Sadly there are many women (like the younger me) who just decided that if looks are all there is and people decide who you are by them, to just accept it. I was told several times that just because I’m blonde (I wasn’t originally, I was originally with black hair) and have curves that I don’t understand anything. I loved drawing (and still do) and wanted to become an animator. I started out working for a YouTube channel, because I wanted to get the feel of having the job first before I moved on to a bigger industry (I’m not in Disney or anything but I’m not going to say which I am in) and when I applied for one of the YouTube channels I ended up being shut down because “I didn’t look like an animator, I looked like a plus size model”. That hurt me so much. I don’t have any disrespect for models or anything, but it hurt me that I couldn’t get the job because of my looks. I simply flipped him off and left

It all comes down to threatening their masculinity. If a woman is extremely beautiful AND intelligent, then that leaves them feeling inferior, and we just couldn't have THAT, now, can we?

And those saying "I bet it's only 'Hello World'" are not themselves well-versed enough in programming to understand that that's actually the hard part. Once you know the basics in a few languages, getting to "Hello World" in a new one is often 90% of the challenge.

A friend's son left his tech club because it was sexist. Girls would be encouraged to join, but when they did, they'd be asked to do PR or be a secretary.

If we keep worrying about who was first to do what instead of just applauding the achievement, we will never get anywhere

I help my husband run his computer repair shop. I know some of what he knows and he's teaching me the hardware/repair side of it. Some of our customers still (in 2018) insist on talking to our junior tech (a guy) or my husband cause they think I don't know what I'm talking about. He later hears what they say and says "she's right". I also get a lot of grief as a gamer on consoles in all my years, not just BS like Candy Crush. I've never played it, and a girl to boot. I wanna follow this young lady on Facebook! She's inspiring to me!

Good for her! She has every reason to be proud. Hey to the sexist guys out there!? We women can do it too :)

I think I’m in love 😍. Probably some neck-bearded incels angry that she’s super smart, more tech savvy , and wouldn’t go out with them if they were the last guys on earth.

They're mad that she's good, smarter than them and successful to boot. They also are mad they'd never have a chance in Hell of dating her either.

I Applied to a plumbing company for their clerical position. Filled everything out turned it in and got an interview...where they asked me why I wanted a plumbing job when I had no plumbing experience... I had to explain to him that I was there for a clerical position. He then laughed and told me I didn’t meet the requirements. I had been an office admin for over a year and held a personal assistant position to the owner of a company for many more. I was more qualified then anyone they had. I just wasn’t a woman dressed as a hooker.

Admittedly I just vaguely know what IT even is but they must lead very sheltered lives. Out here in the real world women have been out smarting me all my life.

In this case, I understand that it's because she was already a model and people found out later that she was a programmer, but it still saddens me that, in general, looks are always the main thing about a woman. It's never about an awesome scientist or programmer or engineer that also happens to be really beautiful on top of it, it's always about how this beautiful woman can also do something well. Being good at something or even being nice or anything is the plus, the beauty is what actually matters and what makes the woman noteworthy. And if she isn't beautiful, f**k her achievements in the first place.

so, because she's beautiful she can't be smart? people still think actually that?

Things are so ugly in tech company culture. I wish my tech women friends started their own tech companies.

beauty and brains... awesome combination

What I would like to know is which job pays more: victoria secret model or software engineer and which of those trolls earn more than she does at either of those jobs, let alone both.

Anyone who is successful is going to have people that will hate on them, multiply that when the successful person is a woman, multiply it another time if they aren't white.

Couldn’t be because there hasn’t been a mips system since 2006.... Pr push makes it seem fake the controversy worked tho She codes iOS apps she would use c and objective I do t know if iOS needs python for full stack but nobody has coded in mips for a long ass time

A shame that all those men were so pigheaded they could only think she was too stupid to do anything but modelling because of how she physically appears. They need to grow the hell up and turn into men.

I love how this woman breaks down a lot of stereotypes out there!

I don't know, I am software developer for more than 20 years, I really never felt that someone ever thought I was bad at what I do just because I am a woman. At my previous job, in that company absolutely the best developers were all women. My project leader was really great woman who was highly respected. Not that it matters, but women there were also quite pretty and sweet, some really gorgeous (one was former model). So I did not actually feel that. Maybe I was lucky, or maybe just these comments were more about people who felt in a way upstaged (so to say) or even jealous by woman who not only is genetically blessed and can earn a lot of money just for being born that way, but also brags that she is a genius too. People are like that, no one likes those who are too lucky. Also, some women can feel that this can raise a bar for women generally and that bar is already soooo high. We need to be EVERYTHING. Every "perfect" woman like this raises a bar a little more.

He said to that one blonde in story above, "You don't LOOK like you can do the job," wtf does that mean?!! Very few men could handle her. Some people have it all :)

I love the last comment from Betty. I can only imagine ROTFL :D

So yeah she can code but why the f**k is modelling called a talent here?! If you don't have the right sizes or are not pretty enough you'll never be one, no matter how 'talented' in modelling you are. Besides doing what the photographer tells you... So are those merits you earned? This is b******t!

There is a huge shortage of women in IT and they are heavily recruited for diversity. If this gal interviewed around where I live she'd be hired first and they'd ask questions later.

It really isnt easy being smarter than men - you have to downplay it to the point they think they are the smart ones.- when they ask how to send an email - you just roll your eyes, sigh, and smile
