Review: Female programmers in China

As the rampant expansion of China's industry upgrading and digitalization has attracted a large number of migrant population, more Chinese women swarm to the IT-related industry. However, IT industry is renowned for its rejection of femininity. In order to find acceptance within the IT field, female programmers may not want to address their gender, but to stress a genderless role so as to fit themselves in the IT environments. A genderless identity and focusing on technology act as strategic ways for female programmers to fit themselves into the male-dominant field. However, there are still differences in daily communication topics and ways of entertainment after work in such an environment.

In addition, they also have to confront the precariousness of short career and structural discrimination for women. In IT companies requirements, they may write "preferable males" and unmarried women are more ideal. IT companies' reluctance to recruit women who are and will be held back by marriage and family duties. As they age, they might be disposable chopsticks for company, but because they don't have a family, they may face this terrible situation alone.
